Our soft set Cornish wildflower honey is stirred cold before jarring, creating a delicious buttery and smooth texture that’s perfect for spreading. It’s produced for us by the lovely team at The Rescued Bee.
Honey is one of the oldest, naturally derived products and has had many uses recorded throughout history.
Bees have been producing honey the same way for more than 150 million years.
Product Details
Health benefits of honey
The three main benefits of eating honey are:
- Natural energy booster
- Great for building immunity
- Natural remedy for many ailments
Why do bees make honey?
Honey bees are special in that they overwinter as a colony unlike wasps and bumblebees. The colony does not hibernate but stays active and clusters together to stay warm. This requires a lot of food stored from the summer before.
Although a hive only needs 20-30lb of honey to survive an average winter, the bees are capable, if given the space of collecting much more. This is what the beekeeper wants them to do.
Do the bees miss the honey that is taken?
No. A strong colony can produce two to three times more honey than they need. If necessary, the beekeeper can feed sugar syrup in the autumn to supplement for the loss of honey.
