Welcome to Whissonsett Honey
Local raw honey is unprocessed, unlike commercial honey that has been pasteurised destroying much of its natural goodness and benefits,
including vitamins and nutritional elements. Raw honey contains minerals, nutrients, antibacterial and antioxidant properties which help to
keep the immune system strong.
The colour of honey varies throughout the year depending on the flora that the bees are foraging on. Generally speaking our honey is light to
medium amber.
Amongst its many benefits, honey is said to help alleviate allergies, treat sore throats and colds, balance blood sugars and stabilise blood
pressure.
We are passionate about beekeeping and members of the British Beekeepers' Association. If you are interested in bee keeping, search for
‘BBKA’ to find your local branch. This is also the first contact point if you see a swarm of bees.
