Why NectarMap Exists
People want local honey. Beekeepers have local honey. And yet, most jars sold are anonymous blends labelled “EU and non-EU”—whatever that means. Supermarket honey is pasteurised, processed, and often not what it claims to be. Meanwhile, the good stuff is sat in cupboards and garden sheds across the country—undiscovered. NectarMap fixes that. It’s not a shop. It’s a signal. A quiet way to find proper honey near you—or to let people find yours. No wholesalers. No barcodes. No nonsense.
How NectarMap Started
When neighbours found out I kept bees, they started asking if I had any honey.
They wanted to buy local. I had jars sitting on the shelf.
Beekeepers don’t wear signs around their necks. We’re easy to miss.
Even in a small village, there might be six people looking for honey and someone making it—none of them aware of each other.
In a city, it’s even worse. Hundreds of people might want proper local honey, but no one knows who lives three doors down—let alone which of them keeps bees.
I didn’t want a shop. I didn’t want to stand in the rain at markets.
And I didn’t want to hand over half the value just to get listed on a shelf.
That’s what NectarMap is. Not a marketplace. A signal.
A quiet way to be visible to the people who are already looking.
NectarMap — What makes it different
• No “blend of EU and non-EU honey” labels—just real jars from real beekeepers
• You’re not buying from a brand. You’re buying from a person
• Beekeepers set the price. We take a fair cut to keep things running
• More for the beekeeper. None for the supermarket
• Real honey. Real person. Real place
Who are you?
I’m Cai Niclas Wyn—beekeeper, engineer, and founder of NectarMap. Through my own beekeeping business, mêl menai, I manage over 100 hives in North Wales, where I rear queens and produce honey at scale—without compromising on quality. I started NectarMap because I was tired of seeing good honey sit unsold while buyers reached for anonymous jars in the supermarket. No faceless jars. No industrial blends. Just honest, traceable honey—with provenance.
