Q: Are your products Vegan?

No . Vegans believe to harvest honey and other bee produced products is cruel, however substitute products classed as vegan are often from very questionable sources (research soy beans, GM soy bean crops, Glyphosate and deforestation). While it is true selling products produced by bees for profit can be considered exploitation... We are ethical, bee-centric beekeepers. Our Queens wings are never clipped, allowing them to swarm should the colony decide. Our bees take priority when it comes to retaining their honey we never take more honey than any one colony can spare and ensure there is enough of their own honey in periods of poor weather, rain and winter. We don’t harvest royal jelly. Our Apiaries are limited to a maximum of four colonies to any one well stocked acre. This means more work and expense for us but helps mitigate pressure for resources on wild pollinators. Our Apiary in Steart is now limited to two colonies due to the pressure on pollinators. We work hard to raise awareness of the plight of wild pollinators, suffering from lack of habitat, loss of wildflower meadows, lack of safe chemical-free food. We plant for all pollinators and leave areas of garden to go wild and encourage you to do the same. If you are vegan, I salute you for putting Animal welfare above all else, but please do steer clear of US Soy bean crops. Here's a vegan honey recipe I found, obviously won't be as good as honey from the bees and unfortunately, it does use white granulated sugar... The British Sugar Industry has lined the pockets of successive governments for decades in order to keep using the very Neonicotionoids that have caused the insect apocalypse, anyway enjoy: VEGAN HONEY

Pure Somerset honey with nectar collected from village gardens throughout Somerset, the colonies are distanced from any large mono-culture farmed crops... this is a delicate multi-floral honey with complex flavours.

One teaspoon of pure Somerset honey is made from approximately 336,000 flower visits and is the lifetimes work of 12 honeybees, be sure to savour every drop!

Raw honey, extracted using traditional methods at room temperature (heating and cooking with honey breaks down the enzymes which are part of the amazing heath benefits of honey), if making a hot drink for health reasons, add the honey last, just before drinking and stir in well.
Minimally filtered - twice filtered under gravity - not pressure fed, again preserving the active enzymes.
Produced by our own bees - from hives throughout Somerset.

Our honey, contains all the natural enzymes and anti-microbial goodness that nature intended because we use a traditional but time consuming method which ensures that the enzymes are retained, preserving the potency of this liquid gold.

We never harvest more honey than any one colony can spare - we ensure each have retains enough of their own superfood to last them through Winter and into Spring before we harvest again. While this means our stocks are smaller than large scale bee-farming, our bees are all the more healthier and more resistant to disease because of this.

We limit our apiary sizes to four colonies per well stocked acre. While this makes more work and travel for us, it is healthier for our bees and less competitive for wild pollinators of which 35 species are under threat of extinction.

You can taste the difference in our honey.

Raw honey should not be fed to infants under 12 months old.
