latest news
Around the world apiculturists (beekeepers) employ a series of colour codes to identify queen bees and indicate their age. Here’s a handy guide to identifying your queen.
In early June we supplied a hive and a colony of bees to a friend who lives in a nearby town. This set-up we installed in her back garden. Since then her hive has been very active and healthy – lots of bee activity, pollen & nectar coming in.
We’ve begun transferring our bees from the nuc boxes into their new homes – our handmade Warré-style hives.
Here's how you can help us help honeybees.
Programmes
Our Gardeners donate roofspace, urban wasteland, crofts, orchard space or whatever spare ground you find available. By doing this '...a hive of activity' fundamentally help us reintroduce honeybee colonies and hives where they've been in decline.
Enjoy the delights and benefits of beekeeping without the daily worries of the keeping itself. You can now participate directly in our honeybee revival+survival and enjoy the wonderful variety of products harvested directly from your very own beehive.
Businesses can help take our honeybee revival+survival to a new level. By working with our Corporate Colonists, both large and small, we utilise the influence, experience and resources that exist within forward-thinking organisations to help reverse the catastrophic decline of the honeybee population.
