WILDFLOWER HONEY & POLLEN (Northumberland Honey Co.) 340g

Added pollen honey. A great floral tasting honey with the added benefit of having around 4% weight of the jar of fresh pollen.

Many people take this in a bid to help build up immunity to pollen in the air.

How to Use Added Pollen Honey

Added pollen honey is best taken in small quantities over the winter months when pollen in the air is at it’s lowest, with the hope that the next season when there is a large amount of pollen in the air again, you will be more used to the pollen having taken it throughout the winter months.

With the added pollen honey in the jar you will notice more ‘bits’ these are the pollen granules and will be a multitude of colours, from dark to light, being representative of the wide variety of plants, and tree flowers that the bees have gathered the pollen from.

As we can only harvest so much pollen, and always leave the bees with plenty of their own honey and pollen stores, we can only produce a limited amount of this honey per year.

Beekeeping Practices:

Beekeeping at Northumberland Honey Co is focused on sustainability. We use organic treatment methods for the control of bee pests and work tirelessly on bee breeding to select from the best of our colonies to improve the future breeding and genetics of our honeybees.

In the past few years this has significantly reduced overwintering losses and seriously improved the survivability of our honey bees. With a constant expansion of our bee numbers rather than losses.

We are also members of the Bee Farmers Association, and are SALSA approved. We take on apprentice beekeepers to train for a career in beekeeping, ensuring skills are passed onto the next generation. All helping to safeguard the future of the honey bee.

Provenence:

Our bees are kept in the heart of Hadrian's wall, each jar is individually numbered, with traceability back to the very beehives that produced the honey and the location.

We produce honey in the Tyne Valley / Hadrian's wall area of Northumberland, and Cumbria. With both Northumberland and Cumbrian varieties of honey. As a small team of beekeepers our focus is on top quality bee husbandry, survivability of the honey bees we keep and producing quality honey. Taking this honey on a precious journey from the bees to you with the upmost care.
