David has been keeping bees for more than 40 years, and is highly regarded by other beekeepers as being expert in this field. Indeed he has taught the skill to several other commercial keepers in the region. To listen to David speaking about his craft is fascinating.
As well as being free to forage on trees, flowers and heather, David’s bees are deployed to pollenate commercial fruit crops to the West of Stafford. As a result, this fantastic Staffordshire honey varies considerably, in terms of colour and taste, throughout the year [according to which crop is in flower]. David expertly blends these batches to produce a consistent and delicious premium honey which is much sought after by those who appreciate high quality natural and local produce. Once you try D.Rawsthorne honey there really is no going back!
