We are a father (Tristran) and son (Max) who enjoy looking after and learning about bees together in our back garden. Our number 1 priority is the health of the bees and healthy bees produce an excess of honey. We extract the excess honey, sieve it to remove any debris and then jar it. The honey jarred is not a blend of a year’s honey, but a taste and colour variation for a particular time the bees were foraging. Any honey we don’t personally consume, we make available to buy locally with any money going back into the care and maintenance of the bees.
A unique batch of local honey capturing the taste of summer 2024 in M33, Sale, Trafford. Most of the flavour comes from the pollen and nectar of flowers foraged by the bees within 1-mile of the hive in a back garden in Homelands Road. The rest comes from slightly further afield, up to 5-miles from the hive.
This pure M33 honey was harvested by Max and Tristran.
Tasting Note: A delicious clear light golden honey with a mild floral taste and long sweet finish.
Ingredients: 100% Unpasteurised Honey.
Storage: Store at room temperature. If crystallisation occurs, place jar in warm water.
With the hives closed for the year we headed off to Brussels (a first for Max and me) for a very nice family visit. It is always interesting going to new countries and seeing the different honey varieties available on the market stalls and the different ways it is used. In Belgium, the revelation for me was seeing a “fill your own” honey section in an organic and sustainable food shop called The Barn.
This month we sold out of our spring honey, but after a good summer harvest we have plenty of summer honey available to buy. We also took advantage of the Black Friday sales to make some purchases for the 2025 bee season ahead. In the sale we bought some clearer boards, a board used to separate the bees from honey supers before honey extraction. This will make the process quicker and easier four us with the added advantage of disturbing the bee colonies less.
If you are interested in buying some of our local honey, should the bees produce enough this year, please join our mailing list below and we’ll inform you when it is available (time permitting, we might send the odd hive update too).
