Small family run business selling raw local honey from our hives located in Staffordshire and Cheshire county. Mike is a third generation bee keeper,  turning his passion for all things bees, honey and gardens, into a family run business, with his wife Sadhana. We have apiaries in and around Cheshire and Staffordshire counties. We sell quality, pure, untreated, raw, local honey. We do not and will not blend, mix, heat or process our honey in any way other than cold filter straight from the hive. We pride ourselves on the delicious taste of our honey and the variety of flavours that occur naturally, depending on the different flowers surrounding each apiary. In addition to selling our honey to local shops, we also sell small jars of honey as wedding favours.

You can find our honey at the following places:

Cheadle: Bee HealthFoods

Chelford: Jones Deli

Congleton: Bare Health

Leek: Pronto Deli,  Breckles Wholefoods and Live Love Loaf

Longnor: Longnor General Store

Newcastle-under-Lyme: Magic Health

It was nice to see this queen bee busy laying this afternoon in our Rushton apiary. The rubbish weather has meant the bees have not been out to forage as much as they should, so they have eaten most of the spring honey we would have harvested. So whilst we may not have much, if any spring honey to sell this year, at least the bees are well supplied on their own stores to see them through this rainy period. Cross fingers for a sunny summer with good foraging! #QueenBees #Honey #PleaseStopRaining #HoneyBees #LocalRawSimple #SmallBusiness

Full restocks for Breckles Wholefoods and the Roaches Tea Rooms and Café in Leek, Bare Health in Congleton and Feed General Store in Stockport. Mike did a quick check on several apiaries at the weekend and the bees are in great health. They were flying in the sunshine, the queens are laying and the workers are bringing in pollen. All the hives have survived the winter so far! #Honey #HoneyBees #QueenBees #SpringIsComing #LocalRawSimple #SmallBusiness
