Getting the best raw honey, raw bee pollen, and organic bees wax to people. We're about pure honey from pure wild places and supporting small scale beekeepers who care about their bees and don't give them antibiotics and other medicines that contaminate the honey and pollen. How did we start? By discovering an amazing honey that tasted completely unlike anything you can buy on the shelves of a supermarket here. It was in a little shop on the border between France and Spain - in the Pyrenees. Later we met the enigmatic beekeeper behind the honey, Tio Ramon. Tio Ramon loves his bees and is committed to pure raw honey from bees in some of the wildest parts of Spain. He lives on a patch of land with his family, where they grow all their own food. We started to bring this honey back from the Pyrenees in larger and larger quantities. When people tried it and said that they'd never tasted anything like it before we realised that there's a terrible shortage of proper raw honey in the UK and elsewhere. Now we have over 16 types of raw honey - from plants as varied as the Oak tree to the Fir tree or Wild Lavender to Orange Blossom. Each has a unique flavour and properties. Oak for instance is higher in minerals and amino acids than most honeys as well as higher molecular weight sugars (oligosaccharides) - this is good. Oligosaccharides are prebiotics that have a beneficial effect on bacteria in the digestive system. You can buy some of our honeys at http://www.therawhoneyshop.com/. Our original site pyreneeshoney.com also sells the raw honey from Tio Ramon. I am Tim Walker. My wife, Karen Puerta, and I set up the Raw Honey Shop (as Pyrenees Honey) in 2008. My wife died after a long illness. She wanted me to carry on with The Raw Honey Shop and that is what I am doing.

The natural cough and throat soother people forget about…

This is active raw honey.

Harvested from remote oak and chestnut forests in Greece, this honey is independently lab tested at Active 28+, meaning it contains naturally occurring antibacterial compounds that help calm irritated throats and ease coughs.

Why it works:
🍯 Unpasteurised and unfiltered, so the enzymes remain intact.
🐝 Naturally thick and slow-flowing, coating the throat for longer relief.
🍯 High antioxidant and antibacterial activity.

Perfect taken by the spoon, especially in the evening, or stirred gently into warm (not hot) tea.

If you’re dealing with a scratchy throat or lingering cough this is nature’s original throat remedy - simple, effective, and time-tested.

Did you know that raw honey is naturally antibacterial?

Imagine a forest alive with bees, herbs… and even friendly wild pigs.

When Tim visited Kostas’ hives deep in the mountain forests of Mount Kissavos in central Greece, he found a landscape brimming with life. Towering Oak, Chestnut and Beech trees, wild herbs like Oregano and Trefoil - and a family of gentle wild pigs wandering freely through this protected haven.

From this extraordinary place comes Kostas’ Bioactive Forest Honey - lab tested as Active 25 - a powerful natural antibacterial honey, more potent than a premium Manuka and at a fraction of the price.

Rich and treacly, with earthy depth and wild herbal notes, it’s one to keep close this winter:

🍯 Soothe sore throats and coughs naturally
🐝Support your immune system

This is a seriously potent batch – and a Platinum winner at the London Honey Awards too!

Here is an active 25+ honey from the Rhodope Mountains in Greece 🇬🇷 - a honey like no other and nature’s answer to winter coughs and sore throats.

Harvested first from Sidr blossoms, then as the season turned, from Oak honeydew - it’s two of our most powerful honeys united in one jar.

Produced in the ancient forests of the Rhodope Mountains, where Ice Age flora still thrive, this rare honey tested at an incredible 28.5 activity - thats more potent than Manuka (and far better value)

Rich, dark, toffee-smooth. Think molasses, chocolate and forest depth - it’s nature’s comfort when winter hits.

An amazing 572 jars of our last Sidr Active 24 sold out in days and this new batch is even stronger at Active 25+ so it won’t last long.

Beekeeper Luisa’s daughter Olaya has a very exciting project beginning to study the habits of their bees.

The groundbreaking study even made the news in Spain!

At Olaya Miel in Felechosa (Asturias), a network of sensors has been installed inside a beehive as part of the (Be)etogether project—an innovative exploration of the invisible connections between pollinators, technology, and humans.

The system monitors everything from bee movement and internal hive vibrations to air quality, UV levels, temperature, and even wind patterns—capturing a detailed picture of the shared environment.

Using AI, the collected data is being translated into insights that reveal patterns and dynamics beyond human perception—offering new ways to understand and relate to the ecosystems around us.

This project is more than observation—it’s a new form of connection.
