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 YouTube 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.

I get so many I use my leaf vacuum to clear them up. I may be wrong but I think it's a good sign that they are outside the hive because at least you know you still have a colony that is able to remove dead bees. I recall when I nearly lost a hive after winter, there were hardly any outside but I had an inch of dead bees in my hive.

[ElaineHartfree]

I had a lot of bees this morning outside and was very concerned, now having watched your video i feel much better, thank you from a newbie bee keeper in Normandie.

[CastleHives]

Great info. Those new Beeks will see the dead Bees out front, get worried, and open the Hive up to check.

[kristopherhampton-zcyc]

Short and simple. Perfect I feel much better now.

[AdsDemn]

Footage looks amazing! And thanks for the tip, I've recently moved my bees onto pallets from breezeblock 'stands' and I was concerned about the amount outside. Loads of bees inside all 4 hives, nothing to worry about :)

[fuzzynuggetsbees]

This is great comfort thanks! I’ve been worried about the increased dead bees this month.

[melaniejenkins]

That's reassuring, exactly what we have outside one of our hives!!!

[mudassirgire]

Great quality and crisp clean sound. I do miss your intro line!!😂

[mll]

I was a bit worried. It got cold quick here. The other day it was 20’s. Then it warmed back up to the 60’s. I did a roof check and bees seemed fine with honey and all. Next couple of days I see more dead bees in front of hive.

[Peter_Gunn]

The videos look great. I watched a undertaker bee fly a dead bee about fifty yards out of one of my hives the other day. Amazing they can do that.

[ianmoorhouse]

Quality is great.
You have made me feel guilty now for watching on my phone in the bath.
Going to have to go downstairs and watch again on the tv.

[WilsonTutorials]

Quality looking very sharp! Not sure how it will do with your target audience, but would be good to have a look at some behind the scenes type stuff. Would be interesting to see your kit, how you film throughout the day, editing etc.

[markmurphy]

Hi Lawrence, film footage looks amazing mate quality is exceptional good on ya.

[danielharris]

Very good quality great investment. Can't wait for them hi def face stings lol

[naturalwitchery]

Just the video I needed to ease my mind

[gregr]

I have a solution to dead bees outside your hive. I never have more than a few. You just need a hungry skunk or possum to come by and eat them all. ;) No build up of bees, no worries. ;)

[joecreaser]

Wow £12k that’s some investment. Looks bloody impressive though.

[KujoPainting]

£12000? blimey what camera did you buy?

[Attalla]

Robber bees will destroy your bees and hive

[PDEMONTH]

Hi bro I see there is some sort of device beside your hive … may I know what is it for
