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 are passionate about beekeeping and really enjoy helping beekeepers through our RUclips channel.
On our channel you can find information on making splits with swarm cells, making increase with queen cells, grafting larvae, foulbrood and disease inspection, honey extraction and machinery, top tips for beginners, products reviews, instructions and guidance plus much more.
#NO NONSENSE BEEKEEPING is a UK based beekeeping channel, designed to keep beekeeping as simple and enjoyable as possible. There are no overly complicated techniques or intricate pieces of equipment.
We cover all beekeeping topics ranging from queen rearing, disease recognition/control, honey extraction, swarm management/collection, how to make splits and much more!
My personal favourite aspects of beekeeping are selecting queens for rearing, rearing queens for mating, making up nucs for overwintering and collecting swarms.
We aim to bridge the gap between commercial and hobbyist beekeepers and cater for beekeepers of all experience levels.

queen traps in springtime ..in Japan they put jars out drown the queen before they make a nest
i moved to the North of Spain and started bee keeping this year, the Asian Hornet is a nightmare, i caught 89 in 4 traps ln just over a week, they just keep coming, its gutting seeing them constantly taking the bees, you guys need to take this really serious and stay on top of it now.
That's really sad to me hear :( If you want to send me any high resolution videos of the asian hornet in traps, I can include them on my videos. Also any frontline tips or recommendations are very much welcomed
yep will do its easy to mistake with the European ones if you are not used to identifying. @@BlackMountainHoney
Here in Jersey, Channel Islands, we are up to nest 228, at the moment, beekeepers are tracking, the public are helping to track & locate nest.
Update, at 235 nests.
We had a Asian hornet nest in thamesmead SE London lucky Joel was on the case and they traced the nest and they came and extinguished the nest we have put posters up on both are Avery's telling people to be vigilant the hornets were only 2 miles from one of are Avery's please be vigilant people and make everyone aware especially now one was found in London
One of our bee inspectors says virtually all current sightings have probably hitchhiked here on a caravan or lorry.
Lost track when dog appeared, was watching him settle down to chill out, did have to rewind a bit. Great information Lawrence
🤣😂🐶
Sorry. He was desperate to be a part of it! LOL 🐕
Will be putting out a trap. Had reports from Forest of Dean and Shropshire. Nice to see you have a proper dog enjoying your sofa.
I love dogs:)
It’s amazing that as humans we can wipe out species so easily. But we can’t seem to eradicate insects.
If trapping is key then traps should be made easily available and cheap if not free then start in the south and absolutely pepper the traps everywhere we can and work up the uk as we can I have volunteered with my local bka to go to Preston and learn more about them then keep track of any sightings or news to pass on to association members
had 4 in my wasp trap last week , none since , but they definitely will be back, gotta do the traps in spring as well to catch the young queens
Which county?
@@dogblackprincehoney south east kent
The European Hornet (Vespa Crabro) which is native in England is a little bigger than the Asian Hornet (Vespa Velutina) and possibly could predate it but the big risk is that the Asian variety breeds more rapidly.
Nothing in Portsmouth yet. I am randomly now on the comity for the Asian Hornet team in Hampshire. I’ve yet to see one. Seen a few European Hornets. Top info as always my friend 👍
More comments about the dog than Asian hornet. Who cares about the Asian hornet if there is a dog nearby🤣😂.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good update Laurence, thanks. Like the new hairstyle, mate. Suits you.
Ha! Thanks Gareth 😉
I’m positive I seen 1 near my hive in the south west, right by Bristol airport
I have seen videos of beekeepers in Japan repurposing rat glue traps to catch hornets.
Best entomological greetings from Ukraine. Thaks for video😊😊😊😮😮😮
I live in North Warwickshire. The last couple of months we have been seeing "hornets", yet to be confirmed. Thanks for the info. Traps on the way. Do they eat tomatoes, I have seen a lot of damage to mine in recent weeks.
Thanks for the video, I am in the us and they are here, and I cant find any thing on bait traps nothing richard will not give me any answers on the baite when I ask the question he gives me the heart sign and that is it, any way thanks, and if u come up with better baite i hope you will put it on here have a blessed week
I hope they're not the Giant ones??
5% tax on all Uk Honey & 10% tax on international Honey & employ more people to find and destroy them.
Great video will share.
🐶🐶🐶
Seen a few in Plymouth
I think deffinately nests have been missed. A lot of people do not keep bees, a lot are not even interested in bugs and nature so are less inclined to notice them. I would have thought European Hornets would predate them as they are bigger but clearly that is not the case
European hornets are not bigger than asian hornets
@blackberry5908 I think you will find they are.
Main difference between European Hornet and Asian Hornet is the latter is slightly smaller, has characteristic yellow legs, a dark velvety thorax and a dark abdomen with a distinctive yellow band on the fourth segment. Asian Hornets are never active at night whereas European Hornets may be. (Google)
@@mroldnewbie You are correct. I thought he compared the giant hornet. My mistake.
Great information just found hornet in the USA Georgia. Shared now is the dog a whippet? Just asking for a friend. Thanks for making this video.
Thanks for sharing Rick.
Jasper is a greyhound 🐕
Your dogs right lazy ,on the settee
🤣😂
He is a professional sleep eater
Plymouth
Great video..I can't find non active yeast anywhere. Only active yeast. Does anyone have a suggestion where to look???
Amazon 💪
Couldn't see it on Amazon?? Is it also called 'Dried Active' or something else? Thanks@@BlackMountainHoney
Great video Lawrence, but have a word with the dog about continuity 😂 do you think Asian Hornets will actually become a serious problem for us in Wales?
Ha! I'll have a word
I've always thought we would be ok or it would take decades. Now I am seriously worried 😞
Unfortunately the methods of dealing with the problem of Asian Hornets across Europe have had to date a 100% failure rate. Here in UK we are attempting to deal with the problem in much the same way which is ludricous. We have tens of thousands of insect species with a serious risk of being annihilated, so radical changes have to be made to halt extinction..
In Tasmania the problem has been tackled successfully using different techniques. Scientific studies have led to a change of direction. The problem over there is severe around vinyards so owners are given licences by the government to use bait traps. For the first few days, fish based cat food is given to attract hornets. Altrenatively trapped hornets are used as lures. After 20 or so keep returning after a few days, they then lace food with insectercide. This is taken back to nest and fed to the queen. After she dies, colony collapses.
Importantly, the amount of poison is miniscule so has virtually no effect on other bio diversity.
Fiprinol for instance, (which will be banned as a flee treatment from March 24th 2024) only requires two drops to be mixed in with food to kill one nest.
That is equivalent to the amount being used to rid 4 average sized dogs of ticks to kill last years count of 66 nest. Other alternative insectercides can easily be used.
A nest containing an average of 6000 hornets can consume three hundred thousand insects per week. Also when queen stops laying eggs in the autumn, she lays 200 - 500 Queen cells. If only 10% of these mate before hibernating that means between 20 and 50 nest may result in the following spring.
Only by having a drastic change of policy will the outcome become positive ~ period...
I am 100% with you on this. Fipronil custard would have resolved the problem instantly 😞
Problem is that humans are interfering again with nature. The hornets aren't the overall problem. Humans are because they still use pesticides which kill the bees. Leave the hornets alone - they are vital to nature as they are also a good against pests.
