Honey from a back garden, Lopcombe, Hampshire (August)

Clover and fresh green foliage — a floral honey that goes somewhere unexpected, the texture of clotted cream. This is the honey that makes people reassess what honey can actually be. Not fruity, not floral in the conventional sense — something greener, more vegetal, more unusual. The kind of thing you taste and immediately want to tell someone else about. Same beekeeper as the Kings Somborne honey, same area of Hampshire — but different hives, different forage, barely any resemblance between them. That's raw honey. Just 2 jars remaining from a batch of 65. This is your last chance. John's garden hives at Lopcombe sit surrounded by pasture, trees, hedgerows and neighbouring gardens. John used to combine beekeeping with shepherding — raising lambs over winter before turning to the bees each spring. He has an engineer's mind that has never quite rested — the farm machinery he helped design in the 1970s is still working in the fields today. He works alongside a fellow beekeeper who is in his nineties and still calls John "the boy."
