Local Honey Morpeth

The Honey Store is a small family business founded by Les, who was introduced to beekeeping as a boy by Mr Beattie of Woolsington near Newcastle Airport. Based in Clifton, Morpeth, Northumberland, the business is registered for food production with Northumberland Authorities and is classified as a micro business by Trading Standards, producing approximately 2 tonnes of pure raw English honey per year. Les also has a background as a carpenter, previously crafting traditional WBC garden beehives now found in gardens and rooftop apiaries across the UK, including the Natural History Museum in London. The Honey Store supplies samples to Dr Matthew Pound at Northumbria University, where honey batches are analysed for pollen type and quantity. Their product range includes English Soft Set Honey, Spring Blossom Honey (harvested in June from wildflower, hawthorn, apple, plum, cherry and rape blossom), and English Heather Honey (collected from remote moorland during late July and August). Many customers purchase their honey for managing seasonal allergies due to the high pollen content. The business sells online with nationwide delivery, at farmers markets, country shows, and through selected farm shops and specialist deli-style stores across the North East.
