Wildflower honey, sustainably produced in the heart of Ashdown Forest
Nestled in the heart of Ashdown Forest, our bees forage among wildflowers, ancient woodland, and heathland, producing a raw honey that reflects this distinctive landscape.
We keep bees in a way that puts the colony first. Our approach is low-intervention and bee-led, allowing colonies to behave and renew themselves naturally.
We rely on observation rather than routine disturbance, and we produce honey only from our own colonies, kept in one place.
We value the welfare of our bees over the volume of honey they produce, and we believe this care is reflected in the honey itself.




About our honey
We produce a seasonal wildflower runny honey, available exclusively through a small number of like-minded local retailers. These are independent businesses we know and trust, who share our focus on quality, provenance, and genuinely sustainable production.
Our honey is made in very small batches by 12 colonies of bees, living and foraging in the heart of Ashdown Forest.
It is raw and unpasteurised, and only minimally filtered using gravity, so that pollen and the natural character of the honey remain intact.
We never blend our honey. Each harvest reflects the flowers in bloom at that moment in the season, giving every batch its own subtle differences in flavour, colour, and aroma.
Every jar is carefully bottled by us, within sight of the hives. We oversee each stage of the process to ensure the honey remains as pure and natural as possible.
As a truly seasonal product, availability depends on both the weather and the bees. Honey is typically ready from June or July, and once it’s gone, it’s gone until the following season.
