Enthusiasm for putting on a bee suit is low today
Anyone else skulking in the shade?

I always like to hear how the businesses use the London honey - it gets used as prizes, sold for charity and dozens of other things.

Every drop of our London honey is precious!
We take great care to make sure that it gets to you in the best possible condition. We don’t fine filter it or over heat it. It’s as nature intended.

Bigger honey producers have fancy machines to do this, but we keep things simple and do it by hand.
It’s a good chance to take some time to see what type of honey the bees have produced and appreciate the delicious smells of our London honey.

It’s been a good spring for our bees - the warm dry period has meant that the colonies have built up well and have been able to get out and forage.

All our honey comes from our own hives in North London which we look after ourselves.
We know exactly where it comes from, so we label every jar with the hive number and postcode.
If you want genuine honey it’s best to buy it straight from the beekeeper.

This is our London honey being jarred for a corporate client - they are using them as gifts at a trade show.
We can also custom label jars for weddings or other special events ❤️

Sometimes I have to pinch myself.
Because our bees forage on such an unusual diversity of flowers our London honey tastes so complex.

When honeybees are flying home fully laden with nectar or pollen they have to navigate between 1000s of other bees and sometimes they aren’t quite as agile as we’d expect!
The things they do to produce our amazing London Honey…

I think we can all learn a thing or 2 from watching bees working together.

Honey providence matters.
All our honey is harvested from our hives in North London. It’s never mixed or diluted. We pack it ourselves so that we know every jar’s journey.

It’s time to start inspecting our colonies again - it feels like starting a new term!

The weather was decent enough to open some hives up this week.
Some of the colonies are absolutely booming and desperately needed more space immediately.
2025 season, let’s go!

We’ve been checking in on our hives this week - making sure they have plenty of food still to get them through until spring.

Who had honey for breakfast?!
Probably the best thing in the world to start the day?!
All our honey comes from our own hives in North London and is harvested and jarred by us - you can be sure it’s the genuine thing!
