Local Honey Ringwood

Raw, unprocessed local honey from Honey's Honey, a very small brand run by Paul and Debbie Honey – yes, really – who have kept bees in Ringwood, on the edge of the New Forest, since 2014. Their own bees make a Ringwood summer honey, which has won first prize at the New Forest Beekeepers' honey show, and in good years a set ling heather honey.

To keep up with demand they also work with a few other beekeepers in Hampshire, Dorset and Wiltshire, choosing single-apiary honeys with a clear origin that have not been heated above hive temperature or heavily filtered. The range has included New Forest runny and set honey, Isle of Purbeck summer and hawthorn honeys, Purbeck hawthorn cut comb and a Beekeeper's Blend of Hampshire and Dorset honeys, along with 45g mini jars and gift boxes.

Most jars are sold locally and online for delivery, and they supply shops, refill shops, farm shops, cafés, holiday lets and hamper companies. They also supply honey wedding favours.
