What the Bees Foraged On (Woodborough Village)
Woodborough Village and the surrounding Nottinghamshire countryside offered the bees a varied mix of sown crops, wild plants and flowering gardens. The gardens around the village also provided a valuable source of nectar, with the flowers grown by local residents naturally attracting bees into the area. You can read more about the flowers and plants that can attract bees to your garden. The named field was around 550 metres from the apiary, well within the bees’ normal foraging range.
- Phacelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia) – the purple-blue crop on that field, a strong nectar source for the bees.
- Wild carrot (Daucus carota) – flat white flower heads on the same ground as the phacelia.
- Oxeye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare) – white daisies with a yellow centre, on stems about half a metre tall, coming through after the phacelia had gone over.
- Linseed (Linum usitatissimum) – already at the end of its flowering. Most of the fields had finished. Later patches were still open, and the bees worked those last flowers. A small part of the jar, not the whole crop.
- Lime / linden trees – the flow that followed, giving the honey its fresher, aromatic edge.
- Village gardens, hedgerows and wildflowers – whatever was open around the apiary, on the verges and in local gardens.
This mix created a layered multifloral honey: the last of the linseed, phacelia and wild carrot, then lime, with the ordinary flowers of a Nottinghamshire village in between.
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: Light and floral, with a fresher note from the lime.
- Flavour: Mild and floral from the phacelia, then a cleaner, slightly cool edge from the lime. The last of the linseed, the wild carrot and the oxeye daisy sit in the background.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this raw honey unpasteurised?
Yes. Our honey is never heated or pasteurised. It is only coarsely strained to preserve all natural enzymes, pollen and beneficial properties.
Where is this raw honey produced?
This specific batch comes from our family apiary in Woodborough Village, Nottinghamshire. The bees worked the last of the linseed, phacelia and wild carrot, oxeye daisy on that same ground, and lime from the trees near the apiary. All our honeys are single-origin and fully traceable.
Is local raw honey good for hay fever?
Many of our customers report that regular consumption of local multifloral honey helps reduce seasonal allergy symptoms. This is likely due to the pollen from the plants around the apiary. While scientific evidence is mostly anecdotal, it is a popular natural approach. Not a medicine — consult your doctor if you have severe allergies.
How should raw honey be stored?
Store in a cool, dark place at room temperature (ideally 18–21 °C) in its original jar with a tight lid. A fridge is fine, but the honey will crystallise faster. A cool cupboard keeps it easier to use. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources. The method is here: how to store honey.
Why does raw honey crystallize?
Crystallisation is a natural process and a sign of true raw honey. It happens because glucose in the honey forms crystals over time. Our raw multifloral honey can crystallise at a natural rate. It is perfectly safe and easy to decrystallise gently in warm water. The method is here: how to decrystallise honey safely.
