Our sustainably produced and eco-friendly Irish honey comes from our apiaries in Dublin, Wicklow and Galway. Presented in 227g jars, our raw Dublin honey is smooth and full of flavour. Each jar is labelled with the apiary location and has a unique flavour.

The simple focus of OpenHive is to harness a combined passion for beekeeping with a need for the conservation of our native Irish honey bee. You can read more about us and our story here.

Ireland has 102 species of bees, only one of them being the native honey bee. You can learn more about our native honey bee here
