About Black Bee Honey

Founders Paul and Chris met in an office 20 years ago, but their interest in beekeeping led them to London rooftops where they cared for millions of bees. Whilst they still have hives in London, they now also support several other British beekeepers whilst showcasing the best honey the UK has to offer. Their seasonal varieties demonstrate how the taste, texture, and colour of honey changes dramatically due to the flowering plants surrounding the hives at that time of year. Whilst the company has grown and evolved, the founding principles still prevail; that their honeys remain unpasteurised and unblended, course filtered, and that each jar be stamped with the individual apiary location and beekeeper to ensure maximum traceability. To reignite consumers' love for British honey they’ve had several of their varieties tested for their antimicrobial strength, measured by ‘total activity’ (TA). You’ll find the results of this on the lids of the honeys. The purpose of this was to scientifically prove that quality, raw, British honey can have similar levels of antimicrobial properties as Manuka honey, but with significantly fewer food miles.Read their story
