Northumberland Honey

Pure Northumberland Honey
Honey is produced by our 200 strong honey bee colonies in the heart of Hadrians Wall Country across Northumberland and into Cumbria. The honey range includes both comb honey and honey in jars. From Soft Set Wildflower, Heather,
Added Pollen, Summer Runny Honey and Cumbrian Wildflower Honey.
Sparkling Mead

The Bee Equivalent of Champange
Sparkling Mead is the bee equivalent of Champagne and Sparkling Wine. Produced using our finest Northumberland Honey and spring water rather than using grapes. Traditional method Sparkling Mead is produced along similar principles to Champagne, taking over 2 years to create a bottle. Each Sparkling Mead is an expression of the different honey the bees produce. Being a working meadery, Northumberland Honey Co undertake all production in Haltwhistle and are the first meadery in the UK to produce a traditional method Sparkling Mead. Sparkling Mead has the potential to be one of the most sustainable alcohols out there. Since starting production in 2016, we have increased bee numbers by around 3,000 with every bottle consumed! Now that's something to raise a glass to!
Bees & Queens

Bee Breeding
Since 2015 we have been breeding queens and bees in our isolated Northumberland setting. Focusing on two lines of bee. Northumberland Dark Bee and also a Northumberland Buckfast Bee with varroa sensitive and hygienic traits. Sustainability is at the core of what we do. Breeding our own stock of bees that prove resilient, good to work with and adapt to the prevailing conditions.
