Local Honey Nottingham

Raw honey from Procter Honey, James Procter's small honey business in Nottingham, with hives around Wollaton, Ilkeston and Selston on the Nottinghamshire–Derbyshire border. It was previously called Honeycomb Honey, and some jars may still carry the old name.

Much of the nectar comes from bramble, white clover, lavender and apple blossom, and the clover gives a light, floral honey. James extracts, gently filters and hand-packs it himself, with nothing added and no imported honey blended in. Alongside the runny honey there's cut comb, a creamy soft-set honey made by slow crystallisation, a borage honey and a smoked Scotch bonnet hot honey.

Beeswax becomes hand-poured candles in bee, beehive and pine-cone shapes, and there are also wax melts, beeswax hand and face creams, and honey-and-candle gift sets. Everything is sold online with tracked UK delivery.
