Marcus Cordingley is a beekeeper in North Yorkshire. Beekeeping is a kind of livestock management and requires a lot of hard work. The working calendar with the bees begins towards the end of March when the weather starts to get warmer and the bees become active. After all our labours we are rewarded with an intoxicating blend of honey unique to North Yorkshire.
The beehives are sited in the most favourable locations from where they can fly to field crops, hedgerows and woodlands as well as marginal land. Covering a radius of up to 3 miles the bees may find different blossoms to forage like oil seed rape, clover, blackberry, hawthorn, dandelion, giant rosebay, sycamore, lime and chestnut trees.
Yorkshire Honey was voted best food of the year at the 2015 Yorkshire Life Food & Drinks Awards.
It has a mild, slightly floral flavour and has many beneficial health properties which are good for all the family for a variety of ailments. The harvest of honey comes from hives placed near field crops and woods in the Vale of Pickering, the Howardian Hills and the Yorkshire Wolds.
