Three jars of Sweet Sting honey, a hand-rolled beeswax candle, a beeswax bar, a honey dipper and a Sweet Sting pen, all for £20. The honey is cold-filtered and just as the bees made it: nothing added, natural and untreated, golden from the wildflowers around Geddington, Scaldwell and Lamport. Set the jars on the Christmas table, or give them to someone you love. The candle, pure beeswax with its honeycomb texture, will light every dinner from the first gathering to Twelfth Night.

Discover the Essence of Nature
Indulge in the pure delight of our honey, lovingly gathered by our bees during the vibrant spring and summer months across the Northamptonshire villages of Scaldwell Oak Farm, Geddington, and Lamport’s Shortwood Estate.
The unique, rich flavour of our honey reflects the diverse wildflowers and botanicals that thrive in these picturesque regions.
It’s completely natural, untreated, and cold-filtered — with the pure, authentic taste of honey the way it used to be. Perfect for drizzling over morning toast or elevating your favourite recipes.
Hand-Rolled Beeswax Candles
Our candles are hand-rolled from pure British beeswax from local suppliers. Each one shows off the beautiful honeycomb texture of the wax.
They burn cleanly with a subtle, natural honey scent and a warm, golden glow, perfect for a cosy evening at home or as a thoughtful gift. From £4 each.
Our Honey Bees
At our apiaries, our honey stands out thanks to the exceptional Buckfast bees we nurture. Renowned for their gentle temperament, these bees are prolific foragers, diligently gathering nectar from a wide range of wildflowers and blooms.
This results in honey with a rich, complex flavour profile that reflects the vibrant local flora.
