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.

Hereford Vikings sound like an Ice hockey team not to be messed with
For me the Buckfast has been a pleasure to work with, we had a face smasher of a hive, now the nicest, all thanks to your hardwork with breeder queens. Can't wait for next years overwintered Buckfasts nucs. 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝
I am really glad that I bought two Buckfast Melita ADS queens from BMH last year. They are calm and this what we need.
Glad to hear it 😊 🫂 🙏
I'm in the states. I've run buck fast in my colonies years ago. What I found is the the granddaughters become quite nasty which becomes a problem where I keep them.
I do like them when they are pure buck fast, but it's not worth the problems generations down.
I think you have just nailed the issue nicely. Bringing in new genetic stock is great - but having to constantly keep doing this is expensive. I also found the Buckfasts to be very greedy over the winter compared to other bees I have had.
All my bees except one which is an experimental Ligustica, are now Buckfast. I'd like the temperament of them and the hive protection of the Hereford vikings in my hives, then maybe I wouldn't have lost 8 colonies to wasps this year😢
Sorry to hear that. I've never seen any correlation between temperament towards humans and defensiveness against insects. Some of my calmest colonies are like assassin when a wasp comes near
The wasp problem is going to be a bigger problem going forward, due to climate change, not to mention Asian Hornets.@@BlackMountainHoney
@@glenjames1942 Quite the opposite I think. In parts of France, Spain and Portugal they hardly ever see any wasps now as the Asian hornets are predating on those heavily too. I'm seriously concerned about the future of beekeeping going forward. Maybe we'll need to import Japanese queen's as they have evolved with the hornets and have developed a defence against them. Ours on the other hand are clueless and have no idea how to defend against them.
That was great. Have fun in the States😅
Thanks Peter 😀
Question please! Why don’t you like to use bait hives?
Looking for you video in Kentucky
I’m not sure, but did i seen you in Kentucky?
I was there 😀
Can we have some more on your other lines of Queen bee's?
Yep. definitely 😀
i have Hereford bees hope to change to your queens this year HEREFORDBeekeeper 75
