Black Bee Honey prioritizes support for UK beekeepers over profit margins.

In the honey aisle of UK supermarkets, options abound, yet few products are traceable to local sources. Most honey available is imported and blended, obscuring its origins. Black Bee Honey, co-founded in 2017 by Paul Webb and Chris Barnes, aims to rekindle interest in British honey. With a 40% year-on-year growth, their efforts appear successful. The venture began with a beekeeping course, which sparked their interest in honey production and the craftsmanship involved. Webb noted their desire to escape office life and embrace the depth of beekeeping.
