Hillside House Honey

Hillside House Honey, brought to you by father and son beekeepers Chris & Adrian Doyle, is a unique honey producer located in Great Shefford, deep in the Lambourn Valley. Their bees collect pollen and nectar from the blossoms and hedgerows surrounding Hillside House, resulting in honey that is a true reflection of the local flora.

Commitment to Bee Welfare and Natural Honey

Their primary focus is on the well-being of their bees, working year-round to ensure their safety from modern threats. This dedication pays off in the form of excess honey, which is harvested as a reward for their efforts. Hillside House Honey is known for its cold extraction process, preserving the trace enzymes, minerals, vitamins, and amino acids, and maintaining the honey’s antibacterial, anti-fungal, and antioxidant properties.

Pure and Unblended Honey

They take pride in not blending their honey, ensuring it remains as pure as possible, just as the bees intended. This approach sets them apart from many producers who blend EU and non-EU honeys, offering a product that truly represents the Lambourn Valley countryside.

Sustainable Use of Bee Products

Beyond honey, Hillside House Honey utilizes beeswax to create pure beeswax candles, known for their slow, clean burn and delightful honey aroma. They also collaborate with a beekeeper to produce lip balms, natural creams, and soaps, furthering their commitment to sustainable beekeeping and product diversification.

Hillside House Honey stands out for its dedication to natural beekeeping practices, offering products that are not just delicious but also embody a deep respect for nature and the bees themselves.
