Local Honey Grainthorpe

Raw Lincolnshire honey from Stax Of Wax, a family-run beekeeping business near Louth with apiaries across the Lincolnshire Wolds and the coastal countryside.

It began in 2018 with a single hive on the family smallholding. The honey is lightly filtered, never heat-treated, and follows the seasons: a soft set honey from spring oilseed rape and a golden runny honey from later wildflowers, field beans and hedgerow plants. Cut comb, chunk honey and mini jars are also available.

The beeswax goes into hand-poured candles and wax melts, wood polish, leather conditioner and a natural skincare range. They also put together hampers, bee-themed gifts and welcome gifts for holiday cottages, and sell a Lincolnshire honey fudge made with a Norfolk fudge maker.

The honey is stocked by independent shops, farm shops and village stores around Louth, Market Rasen, Horncastle, Mablethorpe, Sutton-on-Sea and Skegness, and Bensley's Homemade Ice Cream uses it in its honey and ginger ice cream. You can also order online for UK delivery, with free local delivery or collection around Louth.
