John Mellis is one of those lucky people able to make a living from doing what he enjoys - in a beautiful countryside and producing excellent honey into the bargain. As a professional bee farmer running up to 200 hives covering an area of about 100 square miles in South West Scotland near Dumfries. Mr. Mellis actually transports the hives throughout the season to the flower sources and saves the bees making long flights in search of pollen and nectar!
Mellis honeys are processed by centrifuging which causes the honey to "set" like a viscous jelly. These are not pourable "runny" honeys and are generally eaten with scones, oatcakes, muffins, toast etc




A blend of honey from various floral sources, harvested throughout the summer and with a mild, sweet flavour. Nectar from many sources including clover, willowherb, lime, wild raspberry, and bramble. Smooth creamed texture including some oil seed rape which helps to give the fine texture.

This is a mid season honey made from nectar of Heath flowers which start bloom in June before the Heather. The bees also collect nectar from the many wildflowers in bloom during Scotland's summer months.

The connoisseur's choice made solely from the nectar from Scotland's heather that blooms in August. A distinctive light "smokey" flavor that characterises heather honey in a class of its own.
