I present the Hive Honey Shop! Its awesome! So, I stumbled upon this great shop when I was out for brunch with a friend on the very hip-and-happening Northcote Road in Clapham. This place sells over 700 honey related products ranging from a countless number of English and international honey varieties, honey comb, honey cosmetics, beeswax candles, candies and sweets like honey fudge, mead, wine and honey liqueurs beekeeping equipment and last but not least, actual honeybees! Well, they don't sell the live bees in the shop, of course (d'oh!) ...you can have it delivered to your farm. Or as my housemate tells me, you can beekeep in your house...its all the rage is Boston apparently. Go figure!
Anyway, I thought I'd give the bees a miss but thank them for their hardwork by buying some delish honeycomb (actually, sorry bees for ruining your house and killing some of your friends in the process...it truly was delicious!) I chose an English Wildflower Honeycomb (£6.50 for 140g) that the very extremely nice and helpful woman behind the counter told me was made from over 150 kinds of nectar. Makes for a great accompaniment with a cuppa. My friend couldn't resist buying some sweet honey fudge that has this rich, creamy flavour with a crumbly texture that just melts in your mouth.
This place is most definitely worth a visit.http://www.thehivehoneyshop.co.uk/default.asp
