Christmas at Sweet Sting

Real honey, wrapped up for Christmas

A jar of local honey makes a warm, thoughtful present. Ours is cold-filtered, natural and untreated, just as the bees made it, and golden from the wildflowers around Geddington, Scaldwell and Lamport.

We’re Ian and Elizabeth, BBKA members keeping Buckfast bees in Geddington. This Christmas, share a little of what they’ve made.

The Christmas Gift Set

The Sweet Sting Christmas gift set: three jars of Sweet Sting Scaldwell honey, a lit honeycomb beeswax candle, a BEESWAX bar, a Sweet Sting pen and a wooden honey dipper among pine, holly, gold baubles and fairy lights

Three jars of Sweet Sting honey, a hand-rolled honeycomb beeswax candle, a beeswax bar and a wooden honey dipper, all for £20.

The candle is hand-rolled from British beeswax from local suppliers and burns with a soft, golden glow. It’s a ready-made present for family, friends or neighbours, or a treat for your own Christmas table.
