About our honey

Welcome to Box Cottage, where our bees are hard at work crafting our distinctive, unprocessed honey. Nestled in our garden on Inglestone Common, next to Lower Woods Nature Reserve, our colonies forage across the local landscape, gathering nectar from a diverse mix of wildflowers, hedgerows, and woodland plants.

Our honey is cold-extracted, gently filtered, and left unpasteurised to retain all the vital micronutrients naturally present in the honey. It’s harvested with care and respect during the peak of the season, resulting in unique small batches that reflect the changing floral character of the area.

Each hive is harvested separately to preserve the unique flavour and pollen profile of that colony’s foraging journey. Every batch is individually jarred and comes with its own page on our website. Just scan the QR code on the label to discover more about that jar’s nectar sources, foraging dates, and potential pollen content. This is especially useful if you're seeking honey from specific nectar sources to help with seasonal allergies.

In addition to our traditional jars, we also produce a limited batch of rich, aromatic ivy honey, harvested later in the year when the ivy blooms. We also offer small quantities of honeycomb and chunk honey, perfect for those who enjoy honey in its most natural form.

You can find Box Cottage Honey at our home on Inglestone Common and at Wickwar Coffee Shop. Whether drizzled over toast, stirred into tea, or enjoyed by the spoonful, our honey brings the essence of the countryside straight to your table.

So go ahead, grab a jar, taste the season, and experience the real buzz behind Box Cottage Honey.
