The honey house
Two beekeepers, one honey house.
Keldmoor is Tom and Hana Aske, a stone barn on Thurlbeck Lane and six apiaries within twelve miles of it. We keep every colony ourselves, extract in our own honey house and pack every order by hand.

Hive to jar
What happens between the hive and the jar?
No blending, no heat, no fine filtering. The whole route from the hive to your cupboard runs through our own hands.
Worked by hand
Every colony is inspected every nine days from April to August. We take only what the bees can spare.
Lifted when capped
Frames come off when the bees have sealed the cells, so the honey is ripe and below 18 % water.
Spun or pressed
Most honey is spun cold. Heather is pressed out of the comb because it sets like a jelly in the cell.
Jarred by apiary
Settled for a week, jarred by hand and labelled with the site and the week it came off the hives.
For growers
How many hives does your crop need?
We rent strong colonies to orchards, soft-fruit farms and arable growers across Somerset. Pick your crop, enter the acreage and you have a season price in seconds.

Why raw honey costs more
Read the label
Most honey on a supermarket shelf has been heated so it stays clear and filtered so you cannot tell where it came from. Here is the same jar, described honestly.

From our customers
486 reviews from kitchens and orchards
4.9 out of 5 · 486 reviews
“The heather honey is the only one my father says tastes like the hills he grew up on. It arrives set like a jelly, exactly as the note in the box said it would.”
“Eight colonies on our Bramleys for three weeks, weekly inspection sheets in my inbox, gone the morning after petal fall. Our set was the best in six seasons.”
“I send the Moor Pair box to every client at Christmas. Wrapped beautifully, no plastic, and it lands on the day they promise.”

Why heather honey is pressed, not spun
Ling heather honey sets to a jelly inside the comb. Here is what that means for the colonies, the honey house and the price on the jar.
For growers · 10 March 2026
How many hives does an orchard need?
One colony an acre is the rule of thumb for top fruit. Here is when to go higher, when to go lower, and when to have them delivered.

Why your honey set in the jar, and how to fix it
Solid honey is not old honey. Granulation is what raw honey does, and twenty minutes in warm water puts it right.
Questions
Questions about honey, hives and delivery
Anything else, write or ring. The phone is answered in the honey house.
Is your honey raw?
Yes. It is spun or pressed from the comb, passed once through a coarse stainless strainer and jarred. It is never heated above 35 °C, the temperature inside the hive, and never fine-filtered, so pollen stays in.
Why has my honey gone solid?
That is granulation, and it is a sign of raw honey, not a fault. Stand the jar in warm (not hot) water for twenty minutes and it runs again. Heather and ivy set on purpose and are meant to stay that way.
How quickly do you ship, and what does it cost?
Orders placed before 1 pm on a weekday leave the same day by tracked post. Delivery is £4.50 anywhere in mainland UK, and free on orders over £35.
Can I pause or cancel the honey club?
Any time, from the link in every dispatch email. There is no minimum term. Pause for a month while you are away and the next jar simply waits for you.
How far do you travel with pollination colonies?
Up to 40 miles from Thurlbeck with delivery and collection included. Further than that we charge £1.20 a mile each way, and quote it before you book.
Can I visit the honey house?
The shop is open Thursday to Saturday, 9 to 4, and you can taste every honey on the counter. Apiary visits run on summer Saturdays for honey club members.
Taste the difference a named apiary makes.
Order before 1 pm and your honey leaves the honey house this afternoon. If a jar arrives damaged, we send another.
