About Us

Happy Valley Honey is a family-run beekeeping business nestled in the scenic village of Bollington, Cheshire, at the foothills of the Peak District. Founded in 2008 by Paul and Claire Beardmore, the venture began as a casual conversation over a pint at the Vale Inn, sparked by a shared appreciation for the local countryside and a photo walk around the area. Little did we know that it would grow beyond our initial dream of keeping some bees.

From its humble beginnings with just a couple of hives, Happy Valley Honey has blossomed into a thriving operation managing over 130 colonies of bees. These bees pollinate British crops and gather nectar from the surrounding towns and villages, producing a variety of pure English honeys. Their offerings include Cheshire Blossom, Soft Set, Borage, Blueberry, and Heather Honey, each reflecting the unique flavors of the local flora, now introducing a "Honey With" range which boasts some vibrant and fruity flavours. Now in stock alongside our Cheshire Blossom and Soft Set is a specialist range of English honey harvested from Blueberries, Borage and the Peak District Heather Moors. 

We are now a thriving family-run hive of activity, supplying pure English honey to customers throughout Cheshire and the surrounding areas.

Committed to sustainability and quality, all their honey is cold-extracted, coarsely filtered to retain natural goodness, and never blended or pasteurized. In addition to honey, they produce beeswax products like candles and soaps, and supply beekeeping equipment through their sister business, Modern Beekeeping .

Happy Valley Honey also engages with the community by offering beekeeping taster days at their base in Endon Quarry, Kerridge, providing hands-on experiences for those interested in apiculture.

All our honey is sustainably sourced, direct from our own bees or other similar British bee farmers for our specialist range.
