From Humble Beginnings to a Buzzing Business.
It all started 4 years ago when we became hobby apiarists with just two hives. Nestled in the beautiful parish of Newton, our bees quickly made themselves at home, and within just 12 months, it became clear they were thriving in their new apiary. The success of those early hives inspired us to grow, and soon we expanded, adding more hives to accommodate our flourishing bee colonies.
As our passion for beekeeping grew, so did our creativity. Now, in addition to our thriving apiary, we handcraft a range of natural, beeswax-based products, including handmade soaps and candles. Each product is carefully made with the same care and attention we give to our bees, ensuring high-quality, eco-friendly creations that bring a little bit of nature into your home.
What started as a small hobby has blossomed into a labour of love, and we're excited to share it with you!

The abundance of local wild flowers over Newton Dunes, nearby farmland and local gardens has given our honey its unique flavour which subtly changes between the Spring and Summer harvest.
Our pure raw honey is available online at certain times of the year or look out for us at your local farmers market.

Swarming is a natural process. It is the colony reproducing by the old queen leaving with some of the bees. They leave their hive and find somewhere to hang in a cluster until the scout bees decide on their new home.
Most swarms occur on warm sunny days from May to the end of July usually between 11am – 4pm.
Often there is a peak on a fine day after poor weather when temperatures approach the high teens.
A real honey bee swarm can be extremely dramatic involving many thousands of bees in a large noisy cloud However, they normally settle into a cluster within 15 minutes.
