Local Honey Colsterworth
Colsterworth Honey Farm
Colsterworth, NG33 5NZHoney from Colsterworth Honey Farm, a family-run commercial beekeeping business at Colsterworth in South Lincolnshire, near Grantham.
The Halsey family's beekeeping began as a hobby in 1948, when Frank Halsey started keeping bees after the Second World War. His son turned it into a commercial business in 2002, and the next generation now works in it too. The honey farm moved to Colsterworth from Corby Glen in 1986, and as well as producing honey its bees are hired out to pollinate orchards and crops.
The creamed honey comes from spring blossom in gardens, fields, trees and hedgerows and is churned to a soft set; the clear honey is mainly from borage, or starflower, grown in Lincolnshire. There is also a heather honey, which is too thick to spin and is crushed from the comb instead. The honey is coarse filtered and left to settle rather than finely filtered.
