About Us
Beekeeping with care, from the heart of Shropshire
Eden Honey Bees is a small family-run apiary based in the North Shropshire countryside.
Henry began beekeeping just before the first lockdown, starting with a single hive and a quiet curiosity about how bees live and work. When lockdown came, it gave him the time to observe, learn, and grow. That early interest quickly became a deep passion - one rooted in patience, care, and a genuine respect for the bees.
Today, Eden Honey Bees produces both raw, small-batch honey and carefully raised nucleus colonies for beekeepers across the UK.
Our Honey
Our honey is raw, unprocessed, and simply jarred - pure and natural, just as the bees made it. The flavour shifts with the seasons, shaped by the wildflowers, hedgerows, and garden blossoms in bloom. Every jar reflects the local landscape and the care that goes into every step.
Our Nucleus Colonies (Nucs)
We offer strong, healthy nucleus colonies for pre-order each spring. Raised from calm, locally adapted stock, our bees are selected for temperament, productivity, and suitability to the UK climate. Whether you’re just starting out or expanding an existing apiary, our nucs provide a reliable and confident foundation.
