Heather honey is the most powerful honey produced in the UK.
To produce Heather honey , we migrate our bees to the Northumberland Heather moors. Here the predominant flower is Ling heather which produces the most superior quality Heather honey.
We estimate heather comb honey to be back in stock around the start of September 2024. Our bees are now on the Heather moors we are just waiting for good weather and the honey to be produced!

Heather Comb Honey is cut from the honey combs produced by our bees in the autumn months whilst the bees are on the heather moors of Northumberland.
What is raw honey? Raw honey means honey that is left as the bees intended, basically unheated and not pasteurised. Our heather comb honey is cut from the comb and is just as the bees left it so is in effect the most raw honey available.
Suprisingly alot of producers heat honey to excess, whereas ALL our honey could be considered raw as it is not heated about hive temperature and not pasteurised.
Comb honey is simply cut from the comb, and if it stays dry should last indefinately. Despite comb honey having been found in pharaohs tombs 2000 years old and reportedly still edible, to maintain the shelf life of honey takes some care.
Occasionally if honey gets moisture into it it can be liable for a spontaneous fermentation to occur due to the natural yeasts and enzymes present. The same enzymes that carry all the benefits of honey!
Keep honey at ambient temperature, and in a dry place. Nontheless even at room temperature honey can ferment, so the best thing to do is use the honey, rather than sitting on it for a long period of time. Avoid anywhere that moisture can get into the honey.

This has got to be the best comb honey I’ve ever had. Highly recommend.

There is for me no greater treat than a small piece of honey in it’s comb.It is a work of art in itself. The arrangement of the hexagonal cells and the jewelled beauty within each one are miracles of nature which give pleasure on so many levels…and the unique combination of Heather honey with its wax is a sensation to be enjoyed as a treat in itself. It’s astonishing to be able to receive the work of those tiny creatures and appreciate their labour and enjoy the fruits of it… These combs are treasures… especially the Heather honey combs… They are a luxury but worth every penny.

This is great honey and I have had several lots of heather honey from Northumberland Honey Co. over the last three years. I can recommend it to anyone.
