Where it all bee-gan…
In 2008, we moved to a new home in the Yorkshire Wolds. The garden was beautiful, but something vital was missing – the gentle buzz of bees that had filled our previous garden with life and energy.
Missing the wildlife and the music of nature, we decided things needed to change. We planted bee-friendly flowers, created habitats, and welcomed our first colony from Beverley Beekeepers. What started as a simple mission to bring back the bees became a deep passion. Our hives flourished beyond our wildest dreams, producing more golden honey than we could ever use ourselves.
And so, Wolds Way Honey was born – not as a business plan, but as a natural overflow of abundance from the land and our beloved bees.
100% Natural
Our honey is completely natural and untreated. We never heat, filter, or over-process our honey – it’s exactly as the bees intended it. Every jar is straight from the hive, preserving all the natural enzymes, pollen, and beneficial properties that make real honey so special.
Local & Seasonal
Our bees forage within one and a half miles of their hives across the stunning Yorkshire Wolds. Each variety reflects the seasonal flowers, trees, and crops of this unique landscape. From spring blossoms to summer borage and autumn heather, every jar captures a moment in Yorkshire’s natural calendar.
Sustainability Kept
We don’t just keep bees – we breed them and help other beekeepers establish their own hives. We’re committed to supporting bee populations and biodiversity across Yorkshire. When you buy Wolds Way Honey, you’re supporting sustainable beekeeping and the future of these vital pollinators.

OUR BEEKEEPING PROCESS
From Hive to Jar
We believe the best honey comes from happy, healthy bees. Our careful extraction process ensures we preserve all the natural goodness that makes raw honey so special.
We never heat our honey above hive temperature, and we use only coarse filtering to remove wax particles while keeping all the beneficial pollen, enzymes, and nutrients intact. This is honey as nature intended – pure, raw, and bursting with flavour.
Each jar can be traced back to the specific hives and locations where it was produced, giving you a true taste of the Yorkshire Wolds.
A TASTE OF YORKSHIRE IN EVERY JAR
Seasonal Varieties
From delicate spring wildflower to rich summer heather, each season brings unique flavours to our honey. Our bees forage across the diverse Yorkshire Wolds landscape, and their honey reflects the changing flora throughout the year.
Spring: Light and floral with hints of hawthorn and fruit blossom
Summer: Golden and robust with wildflower meadow complexity
Autumn: Deep and rich with heather and late-season blooms
Every jar tells the story of the season and the landscape our bees call home.
