Amazing Honey

The Littleover Apiaries is one of the best places to get raw honey in my personal opinion.

My personal favorite honeys being the pure english honey, pure organic wildflower and the english heather honey. For every honey has a different intensity of taste and smell especially raw honey.

I enjoy the delicate taste of the english honey for my teas and coffees in morning, and I enjoy the richness of the heather honey and the organic wildflower for things like baking and pancakes.

All over the staff is friendly and very professional. I will be ordering again from them.

Awful stuff

Awful stuff. My Uncle in Law is a beekeeper in Romania and specialises in Acacia Honey so i know the difference. This is a cheap, rice syrup blend packaged up and priced to look like raw premium honey. Colour and viscosity is completely off, far too pale, smells and tastes like diluted syrup. Chucked a full jar in the bin and would encourage others to avoid.

Dear Keir,

We are very sorry to read your comments and take any concerns about product quality extremely seriously.

We can confidently confirm that our honey is 100% pure and unblended — we do not add sugar syrups or any other ingredients. Any suggestion that our honey is blended with syrup is incorrect.

As a natural product, honey can vary slightly in appearance and taste, even within the same variety.

Kind regards

Tried to order some jars of Heather Honey. Very disappointed to find they would not ship to Aberdeen without a £22 shipping charge, and could offer no solution for that. Not very impressive customer service really, and a shame because the product is very nice.

Dear Paul,

Thank you for your feedback, and I’m sorry the delivery cost to your postcode was disappointing.

Unfortunately, courier pricing in the UK is not always based purely on “mainland” status. Some courier networks classify certain postcode areas, including parts of AB, as extended zones, which results in significantly higher charges for us as the sender.
Sending fragile glass jars, we have to use services that can reliably handle this type of parcel and we unfortunately cannot absorb those additional costs.

We completely understand that the delivery charge may make the order uneconomical, which is why we offered the option to cancel and receive a full refund.

Thank you for your kind words about the honey itself - it is much appreciated.

Kind regards

Honey at it's best!

I have found it really hard to find a honey that doesn't have an overpowering taste, preferring a delicate light flavour on my toast. I am so glad I have found Littleover Apiaries, and conveniently in my local Sainsburys and at a good price. I ran out of butter one day and found that I didn't miss it at all with a spread of the wildflower honey, no butter needed! I can highly recommend Littleover Apiaries for all your honey needs!

Loving the really delicate taste of your wildflower honey. Can almost see the traditional haymeadows of Bulgaria and Hungary your bees live in.It almost seems a waste to stick it in hot water with lemon juice to get rid of our colds and coughs.
Just one question , why do you say produce of EU/Non EU countries if it comes from Bulgaria and Hungary? It sets up a vision of a factory where all the dregs are thrown together. Think it’s provoking negative reviews.

Hi Jane,

Thank you for your lovely review — we’re really pleased you’re enjoying the delicate flavour of the wildflower honey.

To clarify your question, honey origins can vary depending on season, quality and availability. To keep costs down and avoid unnecessary waste, we order our labels in larger quantities, so for products where the origin may change in future we use broader wording that remains accurate for all batches. All of our honey is fully traceable.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback.

Smells anything but honey

Thank you for your feedback.

We would like to reassure readers that all of our honey is 100% pure, raw honey with no added sugar, syrups or processing. Every batch we sell is fully traceable and laboratory tested for quality and authenticity.

Different honeys naturally have very different aromas and flavours depending on floral source and origin, which can sometimes be unexpected if someone is used to only one type of honey.

Counterfeit from China

Bought two jars of lavender honey for my partner .she grows lavender. supposed to be from bees in France and Spain. This is fake counterfeit honey probably from China. No scent ,no flavour , really let down ,this was a christmas present. Furthermore when i phoned customer services I was fobbed off and talked down to!!

Thank you for your review.

We were sorry to hear you were unhappy, and we did take the time to discuss this with you directly.

We would like to be absolutely clear that our honey is genuine, 100% pure honey with no added sugar or syrups. Every batch is fully traceable and is independently laboratory tested for authenticity and quality.

Our lavender honey comes from Spain, where it is naturally known for its delicate, floral character rather than a strong scent. Growing lavender does not mean honey will taste or smell the same, as honey is produced from nectar and its characteristics vary widely depending on geography, season and surrounding forage. This natural variation is normal in real honey and does not indicate the product is counterfeit.

We stand fully behind the authenticity and quality of our products.

The best honey we’ve tried!

Ordered a few jars of the Heather honey as it’s a hit in our house and is no longer available in the supermarket. This honey is unlike any other I’ve come across with its semi-set consistency. The order was made on Sunday and arrived on Wednesday so a very fast turn around! Really securely packed too.
I’m sure we will be back for more!

Still brilliant

I left a review over a year ago after a few orders and this is just an update as I still order a large amount of honey frequently (for others as well) and have had nothing but spot on service. No issues with orders or deliveries and thoroughly pleased with the products. And I’ve put a few people on who buy directly and they have commented how good the honey is. Thanks Littleover and the bees! 🐝

I bought this honey not checking the label thinking it was produced by bees at this named apiary.
To my surprise it just tasted like syrup and the honey is from EU and non EU countries, how can this be sold as organic honey and has a local name attached to it! Very disappointed

Our honey is always 100% pure and raw – never mixed with syrups. Our organic honeys are produced in organically certified regions in Eastern Europe, Mexico, Brazil and other approved areas, with every batch fully traceable and tested.

There is no certified organic English honey available (as bees forage too widely), but all of our honeys are harvested in a natural, traditional way and packed to the highest standards at our facility in Derby.

Overpriced and Misleading

I bought the Organic Set Honey in Waitrose in Wiltshire and the labels give the impression of a single apiary honey however the honey also contains non eu honey blended in. This is hidden in small print and the price for a blend is outrageous The Duchy Organic was half the price and clearly stated it was a blend but I chose thinking it was worth paying for a better product. It’s
Just a low quality overly sweet blend pretending to be something it’s not.

Our organic honeys are not blends – they are single-origin, produced in organically certified regions such as Eastern Europe, Mexico and Brazil, with every batch fully traceable and tested. The wording “EU and non-EU honey” is simply a legal labelling requirement and does not mean honeys are mixed.

There is no certified organic English honey available (as bees forage too widely), but all of our honeys are harvested in a natural, traditional way and packed to the highest standards at our facility in Derby.

Taste is different for everyone, which is why we offer a wide range of honeys to suit all preferences.

Beautiful honey

Unfortunately the supermarket where I have been buying Littleover Apiaries Heather Honey for many years, has decided to stop stocking it. I have purchased directly from the company for the first time. Quick delivery and securely packaged. I will be ordering again, it may be a while, as I have purchased several jars.

Lovely honey

I bought a jar of this honey from Sainsburys recently. Also, I used to live in Littleover for a long time so thought I would try the product. It’s light and lovely and I have enjoyed this in drinks and on my morning toast, half a jar down in less than a week says I will be going back for more.

I usually order variety of raw honey…

I usually order variety of raw honey from different places as I drink it with lemon every morning so go through a lot of honey. From Littleoverapiaries I ordered 2 large plastic honey tubs and another 2 in the past few days (to give to family)... second time round was attempting to use the 20% discount code that's advertised all over the FAcebook and website , it said code is expired though it was within the expiry time and order over £70... contacted them to inform (not to get the discount) and got a clearly dishonest response insisting there was nothing wrong with the code. Wouldn't order from the company again, dealing with untrustworthy people is costly for your time and energy and wellbeing, if for such a simple thing they are deceiving and breaking the law, I can't trust their honey. I also have to use a lot of their honey to sweeten the drink unlike other honeys where you use a little I though it might because normally I get raw forest or mountain honey from other places which is much thicker.

I bought a large tub of organic honey from this company, several weeks later I opened the tub in antisipation as they stated it was very nice and was confronted with a foul smelling liquid mass of what looked a little like honey, it tasted aweful as well. both myself and my wife couldn't eat the stuff, so threw it away in the bin, what a waste of good money. I will never buy from this company again ever, how can they get away with such misrepresentation of a product.
