We are very excited to announce after years of development the London Honey Company’s very own mead. The mead launched exclusively at Piccadilly's Fortnum and Mason earlier this month. The mead is made from Steve’s bitter sweet ling heather honey from the Shropshire moors which is beautifully balanced by the apple acidity of Kentish Cox, Bramley and Russets to produce a clean contemporary palate.The mead has been made in collaboration with the award winning British wine maker Owen Elias who has won UKVA wine maker of the year 4 times so is perfect for the job when it comes to capturing the aromatic qualities of Steve’s ling heather honey.
The mead is perfect as an aperitif, or can be enjoyed with smoked almonds, roast pork or even cheese. Don’t miss out on this unique blend of mead, get yours now from the Fortnum and Mason website for £16.50 at:
So what else is new?
The new bee-mobile is here and it’s bigger and better than before! We won’t bore you with too much car talk but it’s a Toyota Hilux active single cab, 4 wheel drive, hopefully reducing Steve’s likelihood of getting stuck in the mud, fitted with a commercial body and canopy. The back was purpose built and designed specifically for bee boxes and camping overnight in the moors when Steve has honey boxes to move up in Shropshire.
However, not everyone’s pleased with the new truck, Teal, Steve’s dog and the London Honey Company mascot, is less than happy with the trade in. The new van doesn’t have a long bench in the back for him to stretch out on and have a sleep whilst Steve’s out beekeeping. And with only 2 seats Teal is on the floor if Steve has a guest. Also, there seems to be less space in the footwells for Teal to take cover from an incoming invasion of bees.
Earlier this month Steve and Teal tested the new bee truck for the first time and found it to be rather comfortable! Teal even got in to the bottom of the sleeping bag where he stayed whilst Steve went beekeeping!
