Jarvis Honey is the brainchild of beekeeper Lewis Jarvis based in Didcot, Oxfordshire, where I cultivated a deep passion for beekeeping and recognised a gap in the market for top-quality honey and beeswax products. Driven by my love for these incredible pollinators and the desire to share their goodness with my community, I set out on this sweet adventure.
My Journey
I started with just a handful of hives—humble beginnings, but big dreams. From day one, I immersed myself in everything about bees: their behavior, their health, and the art of sustainable hive management. Along the way, I met fellow beekeepers, attended workshops, and even experimented with different floral sources to perfect my honey’s flavor profile.
Every jar of Jarvis Honey tells a story of dedication, patience, and respect for nature. I’ve faced challenges—weather swings, varroa mites, and the occasional hive relocation—but each obstacle has made me a better beekeeper and entrepreneur.
