What the Bees Foraged On in 2025 (Strelley Village)

Strelley Village and the surrounding Nottinghamshire countryside provided our bees with a rich variety of nectar and pollen sources throughout the 2025 season. The main early-to-mid summer contribution came from lime trees — iconic for their abundant, fragrant nectar flow, which typically peaks in early to mid-July in the UK. After the lime flow, the bees continued working a diverse mix of wild and garden plants typical of village edges, hedgerows, meadows and local gardens.

Lime / Linden trees – the standout performer, giving this honey its elegant floral character.
Dandelions – bright yellow flowers common in meadows and gardens, providing important early and mid-season support.
White clover – classic summer nectar source in grassy areas and verges.
Bramble (blackberry) – abundant white-to-pink flowers along hedgerows and field margins.
Hawthorn – the characteristic white-flowering hedgerow shrub so common in the UK countryside.
Wildflowers and meadow species – including buttercups, oxeye daisies, knapweed, yarrow and other native blooms.
Garden flowers – typical cottage-garden and village plants such as lavender, roses, marigolds, foxgloves and other popular bee-friendly flowers grown by local residents.

This natural diversity created a beautifully layered multifloral honey with the refined influence of lime blended into a rich summer profile — a true taste of Nottinghamshire countryside.

Tasting Notes

Flavour: Starts light and elegantly floral (from the lime influence), then develops gentle herbal and fruity depth with soft malty undertones, finishing with a smooth, clean sweetness.

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, antioxidants and beneficial properties.

Where is this raw honey produced?
This specific batch comes from our family apiaries in Strelley Village, Nottinghamshire. It was harvested after the 2025 lime flow from hives working the full season’s forage. 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 diverse Nottinghamshire pollen (including from lime and local wildflowers) it contains, which may help the body build tolerance. 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. Do not refrigerate — it can accelerate crystallisation. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources.

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.
