About Us
Beekeeping with Care, from the Heart of Shropshire
Eden Honey Bees is a small, family-run beekeeping business based in the North Shropshire countryside.
Our story began just before the first lockdown, when Henry started with a single hive and a quiet curiosity about how bees live and work. That time allowed him to watch, learn and grow as a beekeeper - and what started as a simple interest soon became a deep-rooted passion. Patience, care and respect for the bees remain at the heart of everything we do.
Today, Eden Honey Bees produces raw, seasonal honey and calm, reliable nucleus colonies (nucs) across multiple apiary sites in Shropshire.
Our Honey
Our honey is always raw and unprocessed - simply jarred, just as the bees made it. Its flavour changes with the seasons, shaped by the wildflowers, hedgerows and garden blossoms our bees forage from throughout the year. Every jar reflects our local landscape and the careful, small-scale approach we take at every stage.
Our Nucleus Colonies (Nucs)
We supply strong, healthy nucleus colonies for UK beekeepers each spring. Raised from calm, locally adapted bees, our nucs are selected for their gentle temperament, productivity and ability to thrive in the UK climate. Whether you're just starting out or growing your apiary, our nucs offer a confident and reliable foundation.
