Why beekeepers trust us
Calmness is our number one priority
Aggressive bees ruin beekeeping. We’ve seen it happen. All our queens are selected for temperament first. Every single one is rated “10 out of 10” for beginner beekeepers.
We dispatch on the date we promise
Reliability is our reputation. When we give you a dispatch date, that’s when your order leaves us. Occasionally Royal Mail adds 24 hours, but we’ve never missed a promised dispatch date.
We don’t disappear after the sale
Ask us as many questions as you like. There are no silly questions, and we respond within 24 hours via email.
A family business built on partnerships
Laurence and Helen run the business. Our nuc producer Richard and his son Ben bring 75 years of combined family experience. Zayne handles our video production, and Chrissy keeps operations running smoothly. Multiple family units, one shared commitment to quality.
