Rich Notes of Treacle: Black Bee Honey's Autumn Honey

Black Bee Honey's award-winning 100% natural  British Autumn Heather Honey (227g, £8.50 or 1kg tub, £34.95) is a bold, aromatic British honey with a decadently thick texture and rich notes of treacle.

Known as the British Manuka, this dark coloured honey is sourced from hives placed on the moors of North Yorkshire and Scotland in late summer, where bees forage on blooming Ling Heather throughout August. 

The result is a distinctive, robust honey with a silky, spreadable consistency that's as perfect on a crumpet as it is added to recipes for Autumn Fruit & Honey Galette and Warm Honey Spiced Apple & Blackberry Punch (recipes below and linked here).

Black Bee Honey is a B Corp certified British beekeeper collective founded by beekeepers Paul Webb and Chris Barnes who met in an office 20 years ago but left their design jobs for the rooftops and gardens of London where they cared for over a million bees and went on to establish Black Bee Honey.

Their range of award-winning 'flower to jar' seasonal honey is produced throughout the year, with each honey reflecting the flavours of its season. Their honeys are never blended and are fully traceable, with the name of the beekeeper printed on every jar's label. 

Black Bee Honey also donates 2% of its turnover to the charity Plantlife which goes towards the creation of wildflower meadows, so by purchasing any of their honey you'll be helping bees and other pollinators.
