I'm Albert. These are my bees. This is honey exactly as they made it — cold-extracted, unfiltered and hand-jarred in small seasonal batches on the edge of Kilkenny. Never heated. Never blended. Nothing added.
This year's harvest
One honey, from one apiary — in two jar sizes and its rarest form, straight from the comb. Every order comes with a free beeswax candle.

Our story
I keep a handful of hives on the edge of Kilkenny — that's the whole operation. I spin the honey cold, let it settle, and jar it by hand. Because the batches are small, each season tastes a little different, shaped by whatever the bees found in the hedgerows that year. When a batch is gone, it's gone.
"We're beekeepers, not honey packers."
No blending with imports. No heat to force it clear. No fine-filtering the life out of it. Just one apiary's honey, exactly as the bees made it.
Walk the apiarySingle-apiary wildflower
My bees work the wildflowers, clover, blackberry blossom and hawthorn of the Kilkenny hedgerows. It's harvested in late summer and jarred straight away — so what you taste is this year, this place, these bees. A note on runny honey: raw honey naturally sets over time. That's proof it's real. Stand the jar in warm water and it returns to gold.

A little extra
Every Albert's Honey order arrives with a beeswax candle, hand-poured from our own cappings wax — the wax the bees seal the comb with. Natural honey scent, clean burn, and a genuine thank-you for buying direct. One per order, free, while stocks last.
About the candlesHoney School
Plain answers to the questions real honey raises — from a beekeeper, not a marketer.
Set, cloudy honey isn't a fault — it's the surest sign it's real and raw. Here's why, and how to soften it.
What "raw and unpasteurised" actually changes — and what heat and fine-filtering take away.
One place, one beekeeper, one honey — and why that's different from a blended jar.
Kind words
Actual honey with a taste that changes through the jar. You can tell it never saw a factory.
The honeycomb box was the nicest gift I've given all year. And the free candle is such a lovely touch.
Ordered the big jar, it crystallised after a month, popped it in warm water and it was gold again. Exactly as Albert said.
