Local Honey Ipswich

Sideways Honey Co was founded in 2020 by Brett and Sharon Bayliss in south Suffolk, growing from a hobby into a thriving small business. Based near Belstead, Ipswich, they manage multiple apiaries across the Suffolk countryside, harvesting surplus honey only twice a year — in spring and at the end of summer — leaving the rest for the bees. Their honey is predominantly seasonal wildflower honey, 100% pure Suffolk with minimal filtration to retain all the natural goodness, and never heat-treated or pasteurised. The business prides itself on sustainability, quality and ensuring their bees are healthy and happy. Beyond honey, they produce a range of beeswax products including handmade soaps, lip balms, and beeswax blocks. They regularly attend farmers markets and food events around south Suffolk, where they love meeting customers and talking about their bees. Sideways Honey Co is registered as a limited company in England and sells both at markets and through their online shop.
