At Back to Hive, we offer some of the finest raw, unfiltered honey in the UK, sourced from the healthiest bees in the best locations.

If you're searching for pure, natural honey that retains its authentic taste, you’ve come to the right place. At Back to Hive, we specialise in a carefully curated selection of single-source honey varieties, including Fir, Oak, Pine, and Blueberry Blossom honey. In this blog, we’ll explore the incredible qualities of raw, unfiltered honey, what makes our selection so unique, and why you should choose Back to Hive for your next honey purchase.

Why Raw, Unfiltered Honey is the Best Choice

Many honey products on the market are processed and filtered, which can remove some of the unique qualities that make raw honey so prized. Raw, unfiltered honey, however, retains all of its natural goodness—enriching flavours, textures, and subtle complexities. By keeping the honey in its purest form, you’re experiencing honey as nature intended.

Here’s why raw, unfiltered honey is often preferred:

• Rich in Nutrients: Raw honey is naturally rich in a variety of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. Some of these nutrients, such as vitamin C, calcium, and magnesium, are removed during processing. Although the precise benefits can vary, many believe that consuming raw honey can be a great addition to a balanced lifestyle.
• Antioxidants: Raw honey is said to contain a wealth of antioxidants, which are thought to help protect the body from oxidative stress and free radicals. The presence of these antioxidants contributes to the natural complexity of the flavour profile, giving each variety its unique character.
• Better Taste: Raw honey is unprocessed, so it retains all of its natural flavours. Each variety has a distinctive taste based on the flowers and trees from which the bees collect nectar. That’s why honey enthusiasts often prefer raw honey—it offers a more satisfying experience for the taste buds.
• Raise Your Spirit: While the specific health benefits of raw honey are widely discussed, many people feel that consuming raw honey makes them feel more in touch with nature. It’s a natural delight that might give your day a bit more joy, a sweet reminder of nature’s simple goodness.

The Unique Honey Varieties at Back to Hive

At Back to Hive, we carefully select raw, unfiltered honey from sustainable, single-source farms from different countries. Each jar of our honey is filled with nothing but pure goodness, sourced directly from the nectar of specific trees and plants—ensuring that you get the full essence of each variety. Our bees are treated with care and respect, producing the finest, most authentic honey. Here are the four premium honey varieties we offer:

• Fir Honey
• Sourced from the nectar of the fir trees, this honey has a rich, complex flavour with a hint of pine. Fir honey is a rare and prized variety, often chosen for its deep amber colour and rich, distinctive taste. It’s perfect for those who enjoy honey with a robust flavour profile that also evokes a sense of the forest.
• Oak Honey
• Oak honey is gathered from the nectar of oak tree blossoms, which gives it a dark colour and a bold, malty flavour. Oak honey is a favourite for those who appreciate deep, earthy sweetness, with many feelings that it brings cosy warmth to any dish or drink. Known for its complex flavour, oak honey is an excellent option for those seeking a stronger honey experience.
• Pine Honey
• Produced from the nectar of pine trees, pine honey is a light, golden honey with a subtly herbal taste. It's a unique variety with a distinctively smooth flavour, known to be a source of minerals and vitamins. Pine honey has been praised for its versatility and is often enjoyed in tea or spread over warm toast.
• Blueberry Blossom Honey
• Blueberry Blossom honey, harvested from the blossoms of Canadian blueberry bushes, offers a beautifully fragrant, light, and fruity taste. Its delicate sweetness is often favoured by those who enjoy lighter honey. Some say it raises the spirit of your health with nature’s raw nectar, particularly thanks to its antioxidant-rich content, which may be beneficial for overall well-being.
