Hive Mind
Manchester, a city defined by industry, innovation and alchemy, has always attracted the world’s best produce and this is depicted by the city’s emblematic image of the honey bee. Art of Honey is dedicated to bringing Manchester’s spirit of innovation to the business of honey, turning it into an art…
The mission is two-fold: sourcing the highest quality honeys from international producers for the local market while simultaneously investing in a local, DIY honey economy – buying from local producers for the international market. The ultimate aim is to make Manchester the hive for the best local, regional and international honey expertise.
The team at Art of Honey works to meet the intense demand for quality single-variety raw honeys in the UK market and internationally. It produces a range of single variety honeys and associated products such as bee pollen, honeycombs, smoked honey and superior quality royal jelly.
The company wishes to re-introduce consumers to a wholly natural way of consuming a well-known product, using local traditional bee keeping techniques with the most stringent of modern quality controls.
Honey in History
Honey bees are ancient insects that have inhabited the Earth for more than 130 million years. While, honey has been used by human beings in a plethora of ways; we adore eating it raw or as an ingredient in cooking, bathe in it, use it to fix our wounds and have even traded with it. And, as we know, honey is traditionally consumed over the New Year celebrations in the hopes of making the year ahead even sweeter!
Honey in Health
Art of Honey aims to revive the traditional use of honey for its health benefits.
Honey is sweet. However, it is more than simply a natural sweetener. Although a tablespoon of honey contains 64 calories, it has a healthy glycaemic load similar to that of a banana. Therefore, raw honey does not, unlike white sugar, cause a sugar spike and elevated insulin release.
Honey is a valuable source of carbohydrates that contains almost all vitamins and minerals that people need. It contains 22 amino acids, 27 minerals and 5,000 enzymes. The bundle of minerals it contains includes iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorous, selenium and zinc, while honey teems with vitamins too.
