What's Inside
Three Transylvanian Honeys
All three from our own apiaries in Romania. Tap any jar to learn more.
Transylvania, Romania
Acacia Honey
Pale gold, crystal clear, mild and delicate. Stays liquid thanks to high fructose. Perfect in tea or drizzled over yoghurt.
Notes: vanilla, clean sweetness, floral
Transylvania, Romania
Sunflower Honey
Bright golden with a warm, buttery sweetness. Sets firm over time. Beloved for cooking and baking, especially glazes, cakes, and warm oat recipes.
Notes: warm, buttery, caramel hints
Transylvania, Romania
Linden Honey
Light golden with a fresh, woody-minty character. Also known as lime blossom honey. A Transylvanian staple that pairs beautifully with herbal tea.
Notes: woody, minty, herbaceous
Product images are indicative. Natural raw honey varies in colour and texture by batch and season - that variation is the signature of authentic single-origin honey.
How to enjoy
Six Ways to Use Your Heritage Bundle
Three Romanian honeys, each with its own character and best uses.
Acacia in tea and coffee
The mildest, most versatile sweetener. Dissolves cleanly into hot drinks without changing the flavour. Add after brewing cools below boiling to preserve the raw enzymes. Works with any tea from green to black.
Linden with herbal tea
Linden honey's woody, minty notes complement chamomile, peppermint, and other herbal blends perfectly. A spoonful before bed with a calming herbal tea is a Transylvanian tradition passed down through generations.
Sunflower for baking
Sunflower honey's warm, buttery character and firm-setting texture make it ideal for cakes, flapjacks, and honey bread. Substitute for sugar at roughly half the quantity and reduce oven temperature by 15 degrees.
Acacia with cheese
Drizzle Acacia over brie, goat cheese, or fresh ricotta. Its delicate sweetness lets the cheese flavour lead while adding a clean, golden finish. The classic European pairing.
Sunflower in marinades and glazes
Sunflower honey caramelises beautifully. Brush it on roasting vegetables, use it in a chicken or pork glaze, or whisk into salad dressings with mustard and vinegar for a Romanian-inspired touch.
Linden in cocktails
Linden's herbal complexity adds unexpected depth to gin cocktails and spritzes. Mix equal parts honey and warm water for a syrup, then add to a Bee's Knees or a simple gin and tonic upgrade.
The heritage story
Why These Three?
This bundle tells our family's story. Three honeys from the same Transylvanian landscape, each from a different bloom.
1
Six Generations of Craft
Dragos Nistor's great-great-great-grandfather first kept bees in these same Acacia forests over 150 years ago. The methods have barely changed. No shortcuts, no industrial techniques. Just patience, knowledge, and deep respect for the bees.
2
Three Seasons, One Landscape
Acacia blooms in spring, Linden in early summer, and Sunflower in high summer. These three honeys map the Transylvanian growing season from start to finish. Three distinct flavours from the same family hives.

European Provenance You Can Trust
Unlike cheap imported honey labelled "blend of EU and non-EU honeys," every jar in this set is traceable to one family, one region, and one harvest. This is what genuine European honey tastes like.

What Sets It Apart
Raw Honey vs Supermarket Honey
Not all honey is the same. Here is what sets ours apart.
HoneyBee & Co. Raw Honey
- Never heated. Cold-extracted to preserve natural enzymes, pollen, and antioxidants.
- Never blended. Single-origin from one geographical location with full traceability.
- Minimal filtering. Natural pollen and beneficial compounds stay in the jar.
- Fully traceable. Every batch tracked from hive to jar. Our British honey supplier holds SALSA Certification.
Typical supermarket honey
- Pasteurised. Heated to 70 degrees or more, destroying natural enzymes.
- Blended. "Blend of EU and non-EU honeys" with zero traceability.
- Ultra-filtered. Pollen removed entirely, making origin impossible to verify.
- Often adulterated. Some imported honeys contain added sugar syrups.
Six Generations. Two Countries.
From our family to yours.
Our story begins in the forests and meadows of Transylvania, where the Nistor family has tended bees for six generations. Same hives, same flora, same craft - passed from grandfather to grandson, mother to daughter.
Founder Dragos Nistor brought that tradition to Britain and built it out from there - partnering with British beekeepers in Yorkshire and the English Midlands whose work meets the same exacting standards: raw, unblended, traceable, and ethical.
These three jars are from our own apiaries - the same forests, the same family, six generations later. This is the honey we grew up on.
