Great natural Irish honey, the wildflower honey is delicious! Will be ditching buying honey in the shops and just order from here going forward. 100% recommend.
Great to be able to get natural products that foster ecological wellbeing in Ireland. I got the bees wax to keep my wooden dinner table looking great. It needs frequent cleaning due to toddler 😅
I have recently purchased more honey from Hannas and I wasn't disappointed. The packaging alone is so cute. The honey comes in a variety of flavours which my children love. I find Wildflowers to be my favourite and extremely tasty! I would and have recommended this company without hesitation. As above, I would have no issue purchasing from here again. I got candles and honey the last time. I would get them again for sure!
I got a few items from Hannas shop, honey, a gift box and wildflower seeds. Everything is so beautiful and delicious. Thank you Hanna, Team & the Bees. If you want a taste of Ireland, I'd highly recommend Hannas products.
Ordered two beautiful giftsets, handmade soap and some seeds. Fabulous natural presents 🎁 the candles are amazing too cant wait to order again soon!!!!!
After moving to Ireland, I was worried about how my young kids would handle the winter. I tried Hanna’s honey as a natural remedy, and the results have been amazing. It helped quickly with my son’s sore throat and my daughter’s runny nose, often overnight. Now I give them a tiny spoonful regularly, and they’ve stayed healthy even when others around us were sick. Highly recommend Hanna’s honey for its purity and effectiveness!
Rebuilding the food system, from the farm up

I grabbed Hanna’s gift set online, wildflower honey, beeswax candle, pollen, and propolis tincture—because I needed a local gift for my sister. The honey’s thick and floral (crystallised a bit, which Hanna chalked up to being raw), the tea light burned clean with a faint honey scent, the pollen adds crunch to yogurt, and the propolis spray numbed my sore throat fast, powerful taste, Packaging is simple kraft jars with clear labels; everything arrived sealed. Perfect for foodies who like natural stuff, and it felt more personal than another box of chocolates. I’d buy again.
I was looking for Bees Wax candles for a normal candle holder. Delighted to have come across Hannah’s Bees. Order was shipped promptly and beautifully packed and presented. I ordered the dinner cables. A real wow moment when opening it. I also really appreciate Apple Pay option on website. Hannah, you have a new customer for life. Many thanks and all the Buzz.
