Corbett Estate honey, made in Birkhall Road, London, SE6

Concentrated summer sunshine in a jar

We're very lucky with the wild flowers and tree blossom here in Catford. From their nectar, the bees make a complex "Explosively floral" honey, as one of my customers so eloquently put it back in 2006.

The main sources of nectar here in Catford are cherry, apple, pear, hawthorn, sweet and horse chestnut, bramble, lime and maybe clover if it's warm and wet enough. Hence the complex flavour that varies every year depending on the weather.

The honey is just as the bees made it. I simply harvest it from the bees, filter and pour it into jars without altering it in any way at all.

I've kept the bees in my garden in Catford since 2001, with a break of about eight years between 2010 and 18.

This year I have a little bit of honeycomb for sale.

Please drop me an email if you'd like to buy some honey. The price for a 454g (1lb) jar is £12, and £30 per kilo for honeycomb.
