Local Honey Reading

Honeys of Henley is a honey producer based in the Henley-on-Thames area, with beehives situated across multiple sites throughout the Chilterns and Thames Valley. Their bees have access to a wide range of aromatic, wild and cultivated plants across the region, which they credit as the key to the distinctive character of their honey. The producer takes a traditional, hands-on approach to beekeeping and honey processing, making their honey in small batches to maintain quality. Their honey is always coarse filtered, unblended and never heat treated, preserving its natural vitamins, minerals and sugars. Named apiary sites include Wargrave, Medmenham, Rotherfield, Oaken Grove Vineyard in Fawley, Honey Hill in Wokingham, Shiplake, Culden Faw Estate in Henley, Bosley Patch in Henley, and Watlington Park. Each batch is traceable via a lot code on the label linking the honey to a specific processing log, site and colony. They prefer to sell direct to customers or through local independent businesses rather than large retailers.
