A Milestone of Craft, Passion and Conservation
Mark a historic milestone with our 60th Anniversary Limited Edition Honey. This special bottling celebrates six decades of gentle, devoted stewardship by our Chief Beekeeper, David Buckley. David’s lifelong devotion to the honeybee isn’t just the heartbeat of Buckley’s Bees — it is the inspiration behind every single jar we produce.
With over 80 years of combined beekeeping experience guiding our hives, we are motivated not by profit, but by a genuine, unyielding desire to make a difference. We believe passionately in the vital role honeybees play in our ecosystem and this batch represents the very best of our work.
Harvested from the Cheshire Apiary
This release is particularly special: it contains the very first 200 jars of the 2026 season harvest, taken from our hives in the heart of the Cheshire countryside.
- Strictly Limited Run: Only 200 jars have been bottled from this initial 2026 Cheshire harvest. Once sold, this anniversary batch cannot be repeated.
- Award-Winning Heritage: Buckley’s Bees is proud to have been awarded a prestigious 2025 Great Taste Award for our honey range, showcasing our commitment to healthy hives and uncompromised quality.
- Luxury Gold Foil Details: Housed in a classic hexagonal glass jar adorned with tactile black labels, striking metallic gold foil accents and a protective tamper seal- making it a beautiful keepsake or gift.
- Pure & Unprocessed: 100% pure raw British honey, unpasteurised and minimally filtered to preserve all its natural goodness, local pollen and delicate floral nuances.
