Leigh's Bees

Raw Norfolk Honey

 

Local honey shaped by season, forage and place

Leigh’s Bees is a Norfolk honey producer focused on raw, minimally processed honey that reflects the natural forage of the local landscape. Produced in small batches, their honey varies subtly through the seasons, offering flavour, colour and aroma that change with the flowers the bees visit.

This is honest honey, handled with care to preserve its natural character and complexity.

About Leigh’s Bees

Leigh’s Bees centres on traditional beekeeping and respect for the bees themselves. By keeping production small and handling honey gently, the aim is to let the natural qualities of the honey shine through rather than standardising flavour.

Seasonal variation is part of the appeal — different harvests can bring different notes, from light and floral to deeper, more rounded flavours, depending on the time of year and forage available.
