🍯 Welcome to Essex - Honey

I’m an old Essex beekeeper based in the north of the county near Colchester, working in partnership with the local honey bees to produce authentic, natural, pure, and delicious Essex honey.

My honey bee families live in peaceful countryside and orchard apiaries around Copford, Marks Tey, and Colchester. The honey is cold filtered and non-pasteurised, keeping all the natural goodness — including original pollen, flavour, aroma, and vital enzymes.

Unlike mass-produced honey, mine is never heated above 36°C, as high temperatures destroy beneficial antioxidants, vitamins, and natural enzymes. Although some jars may be gently warmed if they’ve granulated, the integrity of the honey is always preserved.

I practice sustainable beekeeping, raise my own queens, and work with locally adapted bees that thrive in our Essex environment.

Let's Go ! Essex-Honey worker honey bees leaving the hive to forage for nectar and pollen

Best honey I have ever tasted. And I've tasted a lot. Robert's bees, every one of them, are the best!

Hay Fever

Many of my customers have said that using pure local natural honey throughout the year on a regular basis has helped their hay fever symptoms during the allergy season. Try some and see if it helps.

Pollination

Some of the bees I manage are helping to pollinate local fruit growers trees. Pears, apples and cherries being the main varieties. The hives are sited within the orchards ready for spring time blossoms. Everybody benefits.

Bee Friendly

Please plant bee friendly plants in your garden. Early spring flowering plants such as crocus and snowdrops provide early pollen source for the bees. Dandelions are a great resource for bees please leave a patch for them to grow on your lawn. Thanks.

Borage Blue & Summer Gold

In fields where borage blossoms blue,
The summer hums with life anew.
The honey bees in golden flight,
Dance through the blooms from dawn to night.

They sip the nectar, soft and sweet,
With pollen dust upon their feet.
And in the hive, the treasure grows—
A jar of summer, pure as rose.
