About Us
Medibee is a long-established UK honey producer and natural bee products business based at Troway Hall in North East Derbyshire, where generations of beekeeping have combined traditional methods with a deep respect for the natural environment. Medibee specialises in crafting a wide range of bee-derived products, with its flagship Medibee Bee Bio-Active Honey recognised for its distinctive flavour, natural composition, and intrinsic qualities that reflect the diverse flora of the Peak District countryside.
The honey produced by Medibee is harvested directly from its hives positioned among ancient wildflower meadows, hedgerows, woodlands, and moorlands. These habitats offer abundant nectar sources, from phacelia and borage to gorse and spring blossoms, which contribute to the complexity of the honey’s taste and natural character. Medibee’s approach is rooted in minimal processing — honey is extracted promptly after harvest and allowed to retain its natural pollen, bioflavonoids, vitamins, and minerals, preserving the qualities that differentiate it from highly processed supermarket honeys.
In addition to its signature honey, Medibee offers a broad and varied product range through its webshop and on-site shop at Troway Hall. This includes pure varietal honeys such as Troway Hall’s Famous Honey and Lavender and Borage honeys, pollen sprinkles, honeycomb honey, and curated gift packs that combine multiple honey products for gifting or sampling. Beyond honey itself, the Medibee range extends to bee-related health and lifestyle products, including propolis creams, pollen capsules, honey-enriched skin care items, shampoos, conditioners, and even specialist natural supplements designed to support overall wellbeing.
Medibee’s commitment to quality is supported by independent scientific testing. The company reports that its products have been examined in professional laboratories in both Europe and the United States to assess their natural effectiveness, and academic research has highlighted the antibacterial activity and complex phytochemical content of its honey, attributed to the rich botanical sources available to the bees. Professor Milton Wainwright of the University of Sheffield has noted that these intrinsic properties contribute to inhibitory effects against a broad range of bacteria, reinforcing Medibee’s position as a producer of honey with tangible natural advantages.
The physical location at Troway Hall is more than just an apiary; it is an environment where visitors can connect with both the land and the bees that thrive there. Surrounded by Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and monitored natural habitats, the location supports not only honeybees but also a diverse array of invertebrates, butterflies, bumblebees, and other wildlife that flourish in the meadow and woodland ecosystems. Medibee’s shop and visitor experiences provide an opportunity for customers to see the hives in context, appreciate seasonal changes in the landscape, and learn how traditional beekeeping practices align with modern ecological stewardship.
Medibee’s philosophy intertwines beekeeping with education and community engagement. In addition to offering products online and through its shop, the business hosts lectures, tastings, and talks focused on bee biology, honey production, and the broader significance of pollinators for environmental health. These activities aim to deepen public understanding of the role bees play in sustaining food systems and biodiversity, bridging the gap between consumers and the source of their honey.
The company also maintains direct customer service channels, inviting visitors and online shoppers to place orders by phone or through its secure online checkout, with helpful guidance available for those seeking bulk purchases or specific product recommendations. Contact details, shop opening times, and the address at Troway Hall are published on Medibee’s website, making it easy for customers to plan visits or make enquiries.
Over the years, Medibee has built a reputation across the UK and beyond for its commitment to natural honey production, diversified bee products, and authentic connection to place. The combination of hands-on beekeeping, scientific validation of product qualities, and a rich array of offerings makes Medibee a distinctive presence in British honey production, rooted in the traditions of the Peak District and embraced by enthusiasts of natural foods and sustainable bee-related products
