Hive and Honey
From Hobby to Passion: A Beekeeping Journey
At Penseru, we love showcasing artisans whose personal stories reflect determination and passion. We're delighted to feature Hive And Honey in our luxury gift boxes, bringing you honey produced with genuine enthusiasm and care.
Who Are Hive And Honey?
Hive And Honey's story began in May 2022, when the founder placed two beehives at the bottom of their garden overlooking the fields. Unlike many beekeepers who follow formal training, they chose the self-taught route, armed with just a single book—'A Dummies Guide to Beekeeping'—which became the first book they'd ever read from cover to cover.
What started as a simple hobby quickly blossomed into a genuine passion. When life dealt an unexpected hand in the form of redundancy from their full-time job, they made a bold decision to transform this newfound passion into a career, and thus Hive And Honey was born.
This heartwarming journey from novice beekeeper to dedicated honey producer reflects the authentic, personal touch that makes their honey special—created not by industrial processes, but by someone who found their calling in the gentle hum of beehives.
