As proud members of the National Bee Association, we are passionate about supporting local beekeeping.

Did you know the UK government spends £90 million a year on honey imports? Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of import regulators and inspectors, some honey batches that are imported are blended with sugar syrups, making it far from pure and illegal to sell as such.

Yet across the country, including here in the Home Counties local beekeepers are tending to their bees that produce exceptional honey from England’s finest local flora.

This isn’t about competing - it’s about encouraging you to support local. By choosing locally produced honey and associated products you are getting a healthy, natural product that tastes incredible.

Our apiary sites are chosen to enable the bees to forage from a rich and diverse range of flora and fauna across Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, and Middlesex.

When purchasing Keep it Rural Honey you can choose which county you would like your honey from.

Delicious ‘food for thought’. Next time, think local and enjoy the difference.

At Keep It Rural, we love partnering with our local cafés, hotels, and independent shops to bring our locally produced, exceptional honey and marmalade with honey to more people.
