Gareth
Founder and beekeeper
Founded the company in 2021 after his lockdown beekeeping hobby grew from 5 hives to 25 through collecting swarms around Manchester gardens.
Manchester Honey Company is a small beekeeping business in Sale, Greater Manchester selling raw, unpasteurised local honey harvested from hives across Manchester postcodes.
The Manchester Honey Company is a small beekeeping business run by Gareth from Sale Moor.
The bees are kept along natural lines, without chemical treatments, and their hard earned honey stores are never swapped out for sugar syrup, so what goes in the jar is raw, pure honey exactly as the bees made it.
Everything sells through the online shop, where jars of raw honey sit alongside beekeepers soap, beeswax lip balm and beeswax candles, with bundle offers and gift cards too. The company also runs experience days for anyone curious about life inside the hive, and delivers rather than selling at the farm gate.

The honey tastes amazing! Rich in flavour and much better than βhoneyβ you get at a supermarket! Hope the owner manages to find some good raw milk he can enjoy.
Iβve regularly ordered from the Manchester Honey Company and never been disappointed. The difference between proper honey and store bought honey is like night and day. I also enjoy supporting local companies so this is a win-win for me. Great work!
Wow what a fantastic experience Louise and Gareth are brilliant hosts you will not be dissapointed overall outstanding.

Had the most enjoyable few hours with Gareth & Louise learning about the lives of honey bees. Would highly recommend this experience. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Hands on experience.
I have never tried honey before, but after seeing Manchester Honey Company all over my Instagram, I had to try.. Wow.. I cant believe I've never tried honey, it tastes absolutely delicious and I already cant wait to buy more, Even my 8 year old son loved it and all he usually eats is chicken nuggets π 5 stars for me!
We had a fantastic experience beekeeping with Gareth and Louise. I wanted to get a beekeeping experience for my girlfriend and did a bit of research for different experiences across Manchester and was so glad I chose this one. The session were super informative with a classroom experience to learn all kinds of things beekeeping. We got hands on experience as well as lots of products to try. It was a thoroughly fun and informative day and I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about beekeeping, or just for anyone who wants to have a fun day out! We've also continued to buy their honey because it is so great!
We had an amazing morning at the Bee Keeping Experience in August. Gareth and Louise were fantastic, their enthusiasm and knowledge meant a really engaging and fun day. The sessions was split up in a way that you learn lots in a classroom environment then spent time practical time with the bees. We tasted some samples of honey from different apiaryβs across Manchester and were able to purchase some to take home. Would highly recommend if you are looking to start bee keeping, or you are just a fan of bees! Thank you Gareth and Louise we will be recommending the experience to others.
Had a great afternoon out with my Dad today for the Bee keepers experience day. Gareth + Louise are so friendly and knowledgeable. If you have any interest in honey or bees, highly highly recommend going on one of their experience days. Itβs a Sunday well spent π After the postcode honey tasting session, I went for the Urmston M41 to bring home π―
My husband and I had a great bee experience day with Gareth and wife Louise. So pleased Louise was there to give another angle on beekeeping and I had some female support! It was very hands on which we loved, full of interesting info and lots of detail. The day didn't disappoint. We could have spent more time there. The day was split up into theory and lots of practical time which was great and a short break for lunch. It was a sunny and bright day, so seeing the bees in action was absolutely fascinating. π Although those bee suits do keep you warm!π₯΅ Definitely recommend the experience day! We'll be at the front of the queue when the honey is ready to buy in September time. The one's we tried were delicious! Thanks very much to you both for a really great day. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Plotting now for future hives. ππ
