First Honey Co-operative started in 1994 with a few beekeepers whose shared dream
was to start a honey marketing co-operative. The dream slowly became a reality, first
with the help of Coventry Co-operative Development Agency who established the Co-operative
as a limited company.
The First Honey Co-operative markets blended and mono- floral honeys to non-supermarket
outlets under the FHC logo. Our honey can be found in some National Trust and English
Heritage shops.
Members of the Co-operative are independent beekeepers who supply some of their honey
to the Co-operative.
The Co-operative aims are:
To provide a service to the public by:
1. Supplying Pure Honey produced exclusively by British Bees.
2. Maintaining honey bee colonies.
3. Supporting Farming & Wild flowers by maintaining pollinating
bees.
4. Promoting Plant and Animal diversity.
And
Providing a market opportunity for every beekeeper.
