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.

It's unbelievable that someone could have let it get that far. Stuff like this makes me so mad when it's so avoidable.

Heard tell of a man whose father was a beekeeper. When his father died, his bee colony died within a few hours.

Can they be saved, those last ones and the queen as well as the brood?

madelynHernandez

I had this problem this year but thankfully they are slowly recovering

For comparison, Varroa would be like a Rabbit sized tick for us.

This is like neglecting a puppy. If you are a beekeeper, varroa treatment is as important as anything else. I have not lost a colony to varroa infestation.

I'm so sorry, we just got this in Australia

In India(north east area) we never had varroa problem, but wax moth is a big problem.

So I guess we should be breeding bees to be more hardy.

Sad and angry if you can't take care of them, don't have them

It could be that the colony has died because the Queen has come from county that have a warm climate and don’t know how to hibernate this happened to me when we had New Zealand bees several years ago when the beekeepers of Portsmouth started keeping bee on allotments before varroa arrived in England. I am seeing the same thing happening again and I have not treated my bees since the winter 2007 / 2008 and I have been a beekeeper for 47 years. And l still was keeping bees from 1993 to 1997 when the 75% of the bees and beekeepers died out in Hampshire England. He way l get over this problem now is just to breed my own colonise and value the swarms that arrive in my bait hives in early spring.

This is pure neglect by the beekeeper, there are range of effective treatments available along with integrated pest management techniques to keep the varoa count at tolerable levels. I have a lot of hives and have never lost a hive to varoa

Varroa can be prevented by hive design. The ZEST hive is functionally free of it, meaning it does not need treating for it. As the marker for varroa, DWV is rarely seen. The ZEST hive design, being warm and dry is nevertheless, humid. This has been data logged, being compared with a traditional wood hive. Varroa does not do well in a humid environment for causes unknown. It is also likely that a consistently warm, well insulated hive (by a factor of 30 times), as the ZEST is, decreases the pupation time of the bees. Pupation time can vary by up to 3 days based on temperature. Colder takes longer to the benefit of the varroa population.
