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 TH-cam 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.

Why not combine the queenless hive with the Queen hive?
I am interested in seeing what happened with the wild colony in the tree. Hope they are alive.
Aww too bad about the wild colony!!!
What happened to the colony in the poly box?
I was wondering the same.
@@crystalchildress4968 Same here.
Amazing they manage to survive I the wild so,long. Just shows we try to help them to maximise the honey production.
Except for our controlled apiaries all natural beehives survive in the wild.
Really glad some of these have made it though winter :) Are you planning on an update later in the season? :)
Maybe. They are being moved away this week but only up the road so I should be able to get an update video :D
@@BlackMountainHoney update pls?
Great video man! Hope your well
Awesome!!!
Intersting, thanks again.
I would take a frame of eggs and brood and do a walk-away split by putting it into the box without a queen.
thats exactly what i was going to say
So nice of you to mark the queen
Leaving the queen excluder in place over winter?
Would that stop the queen from getting to the stored honey and thereby contribute to her demise?
Could you combine them with q right colonies to populate
Have you treated any of these for varroa?
Old queens don’t produce much brood?
What is the name of that frame?
5 years abandoned? These may be a little above average where varroa is concerned. What was their mite load like before treatment?
The hives were abandoned for 5 year. There could have been many cycles of colonies in each hive, not necessarily consistent bee lineages.
@@Hill_Walker I agree, but it's still worth checking out, because regardless of how many lineage they managed to survive a good while without treatment. Not saying they're miracle bees, just that he should check if they do or don't have higher than average resistance.
@@lagrangebees This is how bees live in nature (it's so good lecture):
th-cam.com/video/T7CB8E7jKBc/w-d-xo.html
Due to varroa research; wild bees live longer.
th-cam.com/video/KwuR3uMkMF0/w-d-xo.html
There are few reasons:
- best bee spiece (natural selection)
- modern beehives are wet
- pseudoscorpions cannot live in moist, steril conditions
Don't think I'd be making any tincture out of a mouse riddled hive 🤢
What kind of a frame was that?
I did not get the sizing of it?
Does not appear to be Dadant.
14 x 12
@@BlackMountainHoney
Thanks.
Is this some kind of a known format - 14x12?
I am not aware of what this is.
@@gregw3437 these are british national hives, there are three standard frame sizes - Super/Shallow, Brood/Deep and 14x12. 14x12 means you only have the one brood box through the year.
I would have shaken the “no queen” colony in fro t of the weak colony
I love these videos but please wash that bee suit, my OCD is going nuts 😖
ha! That's it washed!! You should see it dirty
Strage that they survived 5 years without human tampering and after....:(
There is no proof they survived 5 years. Could easily be swarms from the current year taking over used equipment..Feral colonies swarm a lot due to high varroa loads. Studies have shown natural colonies in the UK rarely last longer than 3 years in the wild without swarming/absconding
