Honey is a natural product, and there is much more to bees than making honey.
Here we explain why every harvest is different, why crystallisation is entirely natural and how thousands of individual bees form a colony.
Questions and answers.
A brief guide to the origins, harvest and natural qualities of our honey.
Why does honey taste different each year?
Flowering times, weather and the food available nearby all change. As a result, the colour, texture and flavour of each harvest vary naturally.
What does 'each location kept separate' mean?
We do not blend the harvests from our different apiaries. This preserves each honey's sense of place.
What is the difference between spring and summer honey?
Spring honey comes from the year's early blossoms, while summer honey comes from plants that flower later. Beekeepers call these the early and late nectar flows. At each location, we harvest and jar the two separately.
Does crystallisation mean something is wrong?
No. Almost all unprocessed honey crystallises sooner or later. When this happens depends mainly on its natural mix of sugars.
Three Lives. One Colony.
Worker, queen and drone: three bodies, three destinies and one shared life.
Our richly illustrated story follows the lives within the hive and shows how tens of thousands of individuals become one colony.
