Local Honey Ross-on-Wye

BeeTheKeeper is a family-run apiary founded around 8 years ago by Guy and his Uncle Pete during Guy's final year of secondary school. The business is rooted in a passion for rebuilding the British bee population and supporting the pollination of crops, hedgerows, wildflowers, and forests. Their hives are located across the Black Mountains of Hay on Wye, Ross on Wye, Hereford, and Ledbury, placing them firmly in the Herefordshire and Welsh Borders region. BeeTheKeeper sells only raw honey, meaning it is coarsely filtered and not processed in any way, preserving the full natural qualities that the bees impart. They are critical of commercially sold 'honey' that is heavily processed, and pride themselves on offering a genuine, natural product. Sustainability is a core value, with a strong emphasis on supporting local farmers and creating environments where bees can thrive. They also offer a unique 'Adopt A Hive' partner programme, allowing customers to adopt a single hive or an entire apiary. The business ethos is inspired by the selfless, community-driven nature of the honeybee colony itself.
