Ashworth Honey provides a variety of products and services centred on the honeybee, the hive and what we can harvest sustainably from the hive.
The honeycomb cell is where brood is layed, the honey bee develops and emerges, and where the pollen and honey is stored. It is recognised as being the strongest shape with the minimum amount of wax needed to construct it. We do not waste the honeycomb when it has finished it’s useful life in the hive – it becomes candles and other beeswax products that we sell.
The yellow is the colour of beeswax, but also the most recognised colour of honey and many pollens. our honey jar labels have a transparent bee to show the real colour of the honey they have produced.
The honeybee is most important to us, as beekeepers, but also as parents. This image is the Makaton symbol for the honeybee, recognised internationally by those who use the vocabulary.
The Makaton charity is very special to us, as it gave our daughter the ability to communicate non-verbally and express herself. Before learning the vocabulary – pictoral and signed, she had been locked into her own very frustrated world, unable to share her thoughts or wicked sense of humour.
Being licenced to use the bee symbol as part of our logo is a nod to the amazing work the Makaton Charity does and the freedom of expression it gives to over 100,000 children and adults worldwide.
