Frequently asked questions

Will my product look exactly like the photograph?

We take care to photograph and describe our products accurately, but slight variations may occur.

Honey is a natural, seasonal product, so its colour, clarity and texture can vary between hives and harvests. Wooden products may also vary slightly in colour, grain and finish, while merchandise colours can appear different depending on your screen.

The product type, size and quantity will match the details shown on the product page.

Why has my honey crystallised?
Crystallisation is completely natural and does not mean the honey has gone off or is faulty. Some harvests crystallise more quickly than others depending on the nectar collected by the bees. To return it to a runnier consistency, place the closed jar in warm water and allow it to soften gently. Avoid boiling water or overheating the honey.
Why is there a light foam or small bubbles on top?

A light layer of foam or tiny air bubbles can sometimes appear after honey has been extracted, strained and jarred. This is natural and harmless and does not affect the quality or flavour of the honey.

How should I store my honey?
Keep your honey tightly closed at room temperature in a cool, dry place. There is no need to refrigerate it, as this can encourage it to crystallise more quickly.
Where can I find my receipt?

Your order confirmation and payment details will be sent to the email address used at checkout. If you have created an account, you can also view your previous orders from the My Account section of the website.

Please check your junk or spam folder if the email has not arrived.

What should I do if my order arrives damaged or incorrect?
Please email hello@jonthebeekeeper.co.uk as soon as possible and include your order number, details of the problem and photographs of the product and packaging where possible. We will investigate and arrange an appropriate replacement or refund.
Will you restock products marked as out of stock?
Our honey is seasonal and produced in small batches, so some products may only be available at certain times of the year. Where possible, products will be restocked following the next harvest. You can sign up for News from the Hives to hear about new batches and product releases.
