    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.

    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.

    Branding bee equipment is the rule in Australia, slightly differrent from state to state, but basically have to brand all hives. Some theft still happens but in general its pretty limited. Queensland has a permit system to allow you to set up temporary apiaries on the side of highways and public roads. These apiaries are subject to vandalism more than theft, but is still very limited.

    Put an air tag somewhere inside a hive. Works like a charm the first time. Later they become smarter 😅

    out of curiosity , do you just take your hives up the mountain and locate them wherever you fancy , or do you put them in someone's property with their permision?

    Simon The Beekeeper posted a note saying their smokers were not affected, and they included trading standards report showing negative asbestos test results. Might be worth checking

    A pure bred AMM queen….do they exist?? I find that the ‘native’ black bee isn’t great on honey production and being hygienic with varroa plus they seem to get more disease than the carnican for an example
