Our Hospitality Personality of the Month for July is Simon at The Noble Bee.
Simon is passionate about bees and nature conservation. The Noble Bee produces exceptional quality and delicious honey, which is award winning! Their honey is 100% natural, raw, unprocessed honey!
They produce the honey from specially located apiaries in wild areas across the New Forest, with their main home base being at Furzedown Farm Conservation Area. They currently offer two types of honey made by their bees, Spring and Summer Wild Flower Honey and New Forest Heather Honey. As well as their pure honey and natural raw honey, they also produce beeswax lip balm, hand balm, candles and also beeswax wraps too - all of which can be bought via their online shop. There are also many local outlets that also sell their products, including Fairweathers Garden Centre, Beaulieu Motor Museum Gift Shop, St Barbe Museum & Art Gallery, and more - see a full list here.
As well as producing delicious honey, and other products, The Noble Bee also run incredible, unmissable Beekeeping Experiences in the New Forest. On a Beekeeping Experience with The Noble Bee, you'll learn a lot about bees and beekeeping, you'll get the chance to get hands on and take a look inside an active beehive, make your own beeswax candle, get to try some tasty honey and have loads of fun.
