The London Bee Company

About your host, Sam As one of the founders of the London Bee Company, I am passionate about bees and all the amazing things they do and produce. As a result, a lot of my time, work and energy is devoted to the welfare of our bees. I also work with over 300 beekeepers in East Africa (Kenya, South Sudan, Congo, Uganda, Tanzania) helping them develop their beekeeping income through value added product and market access as well as providing training on low cost beeswax production.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as THE LONDON BEE COMPANY LIMITED, number 08244606. Checked 2026-09-06.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
