About Black Bee Honey
Black Bee Honey is an award-winning British beekeeper collective founded by Paul Webb and Chris Barnes in Somerset. The company produces and sources 100% British honey from certified beekeepers across the UK, with full traceability—each jar displays the name of the beekeeper and exact location where it was produced. The brand name honours the native British Black Bee (Apis Mellifera Mellifera), which was on the verge of extinction after losing natural habitat. While the company works with various bee breeds, the name reflects their commitment to supporting British bees and their keepers by celebrating only British honey—standing in contrast to most supermarket honey which is imported with mixed origins. Black Bee Honey is B Corp certified and operates a circular business model where 2% of turnover goes to creating wildflower meadows in partnership with the charity Plantlife. These meadows provide vital habitat for honey bees and other pollinators, creating a sustainable cycle where every jar sold helps create more bee-friendly environments. Over 20 acres of meadow have been created to date. The seasonal range includes Spring Honey, British Summer Honey, Autumn Honey, and Winter Honey—each capturing the distinctive flavours of different flowering periods across Britain. Their Summer Honey won 2 stars at the Great Taste Awards, with multiple other varieties also receiving recognition. As a Living Wage Employer with strong ethical credentials, Black Bee Honey offers consumers honey they can feel good about buying—supporting British agriculture, biodiversity, and sustainable business practices.
