About us

NORTHIAM HONEY

"Joy from the Hive" was formed to bring our Pure Honey, 100% Natural Beeswax Candles and Pure Furniture Polish to a wider audience. 

​

Based in Northiam, East Sussex, we care for small apiaries throughout Sussex and Kent, always prioritising the health and happiness of our honeybees.

Our aim is to not to over-intrude into the beehive. This encourages the natural behaviour of the honeybees. 

Our aim is to make the most of everything the beehive offers. That’s why we began creating 100% pure beeswax candles, along with traditional polishes and treatments.

We aim to be sustainable and environmentally friendly, as possible. We let nature speak for itself. 

BEES AND OUR CONNECTION TO NATURE

BEES THE HARDEST WORKERS

We're mindful, that Bees are some of the hardest working creatures on the planet. For us, it is all about the bees and the wonderful natural products they produce. Bees, Humans and the Earth are crucial to each other.

BEEKEEPING & OUR PACKAGING 

We always leave plenty of honey stores for our bees. Additionally, our beeswax is a natural by-product of the beehive. 

​All our parcel packaging is biodegradable. We use a brown infill paper called hive honeycomb wrap.

Occasionally, we  use cellulose green bubble wrap, as it gives greater protection to your products. The bubble wrap has the appearance of plastic, but it is strong, re-usable and 100% biodegradable.

On occasion, we will re-use cardboard boxes, if parcels are an odd shape. 

​When it comes to sustainability, we continue to learn and will adapt our methods.
