Welcome to Nick’s Bees. Nick has been keeping bees since 2010 on the Hertfordshire Essex border as a hobby.
Honey
Nick’s Bees Honey is 100% natural English local honey, collected from wildflower meadows, allotments, gardens and countryside fields.
It is harvested from apiaries, then jarred by location and season, resulting in a range of deliciously different range of honeys.

Nick harvests beeswax from the processing of honey and then turns it into a range of products, most commonly candles.
