Lincolnshire Borage Honey
Hand-harvested from our Lincolnshire hives | 12oz / 340g glass jar | new sized jar
For the second summer in a row we moved some of our hives to borage fields located in Lincolnshire. Borage or Star flower is a beautiful blue flower which honeybees adore.
If you’re after a gentle, floral honey that works in both sweet and savoury dishes, this one’s for you.
Try it:
- Swirled into porridge or spread on toast
- Stirred into herbal tea or lemon and hot water
- Drizzled over yogurt, pancakes or fruit
- Or paired with soft cheeses on a lazy afternoon board
While Borage is their favourite, our bees don’t stay put – they love to explore. So you might also be tasting nectar from Bramble, Daisies, Evening Primrose, Linden Blossom, Mullein, Poppies, Verbena or Yarrow, depending on what’s in bloom.
Item Overview: Our Borage honey is collected in small batches from us (very proud beekeepers) and taken direct from the hive. Only dispatched to the United Kingdom from Lincolnshire.
Ingredients: 100% raw Lincolnshire borage honey
Packaging: 12oz / 340g glass jar (recyclable)
UK shipping only
Please note: Natural and raw honey can sometimes turn cloudy or crystallize, this is because it has only been coarse strained so still contains remnants of the different pollens the bees visited throughout the seasons. Our honey may contain pollen particles, but this only helps to show how natural and wonderful our honey is!
Just like our summer honey, the borage honey is likely to stay runny for longer than our spring honey, due to the nectar collected by the bees. However, if you do need to make your honey runny again, you can heat the jar, but try to keep the temperature of the honey to less than 40 degrees to preserve its gorgeousness.
We love our bees and are ethical beekeepers who always leave enough honey for our bees to enjoy. Our packaging is recyclable, and no plastic packaging is used.
Please reuse and recycle the jar and lid.

Lincolnshire Borage Honey
We’re very lucky to live in the Lincolnshire Wolds and are surrounded by rolling hills and an abundance of nature. We have dogs, chickens and grow lots of flowers, vegetables and herbs. It seemed only natural the next step into our countryside journey was to become beekeepers.
Although relatively new to beekeeping, we have been guided by an expert who has well over 20 years’ experience keeping bees. Our bees are kept close by surrounded by hedgerows and farmers fields, which gives them an abundance of gorgeous flowers to collect their nectar from and turn it into fragrant, natural honey.
As an aromatherapist I will also be using the beeswax to create more aromatic and plant powered products to help heal and bring a little bit of happiness, thanks to our beautiful bees.
