We are based in North Wales and manage around 150 colonies of bees, plus nucleus colonies.
We produce Great Taste Award winning honey and sell nucleus colonies to members of the public.
Our 6 frame overwintered nucleus colonies sell out very fast every year so early ordering is advisable.

We supply F1 Mated Buckfast and Jolanta Queens throughout the season. The UK Mated Jolanta Queens are reared using genetics used by the UK's biggest bee farmer - Murray McGregor - and are not available to general public, except through resellers like us! Check out our queens page on our website.

My personal favourite aspects of beekeeping are selecting queens for rearing, rearing queens for mating, making up nucs for overwintering and collecting swarms.

    My local mongrels never fail to go into swarm mode themselves, pretty early in season, so they normally dictate to the beekeeper when to split. 🤣🤣 and usually all at once. 🙈🙈

    Your weather in North Wales is very similar to that of Northern Arizona except the rain. The temps are very similar. So I really gain a lot from your videos. This is my 2nd year having bees. Wintered 3 colonies and getting 2 more today. I’m retired military and love this hobby. And yes I have been to the Goodrich castle at Ross on the Wye.

    One of my colonies has a frame almost full of capped drone brood, larvae, capped brood on the other frame, 2020 queen seen. Should I be worried? In the south of UK.

    just to ask if there is any news from Ukraine? Did our donations get there? Oh and I am down to an apidea with two mini supers from last year just made a box for the mini frames to allow them to migrate up into an abelo 3 frame nuc. Amazing number of bees in the little tower. What began as an experiment may be the saving of my beekeeplng being as that's all I have left.
