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.

Thanks for all of the comments and new subscribers to my channel! Great video Laurence, I absolutely love being able to see the mountains with your drone! Stunning!

[@Beekeeping4Hope]

Awesome video. I find the more people and techniques we learn the better and stronger we become. I have no set way to beekeeping, I’m learning all the time from many epic keepers 🐝

"They wont be swarming now."
Collected two swarms this week and on to collect another next week.

Branding bee equipment is the rule in Australia, slightly differrent from state to state, but basically have to brand all hives. Some theft still happens but in general its pretty limited. Queensland has a permit system to allow you to set up temporary apiaries on the side of highways and public roads. These apiaries are subject to vandalism more than theft, but is still very limited.

[@dyershov]

Put an air tag somewhere inside a hive. Works like a charm the first time. Later they become smarter 😅

[@Darren_Nicola]

What a spot for keeping bees absolutely beautiful,

[@bluelab5019]

This series you're doing visiting other beekeepers is really interesting. Keep it up please.

[@BlackMountainHoney]

I'll do my best! Any volunteers?

[@bluelab5019]

​@@BlackMountainHoneylove to see you have a day with one of the big boys. Chris Manton springs to mind first.

[@BlackMountainHoney]

@@bluelab5019 I've asked Chris at least 10 times. He sadly isn't interested 😕 😔

[@Beekeeping4Hope]

[@MarshApiaries]

I have Welsh black my god punchy as hell. But my buckfast queen from you last year just amazing

[@paulfairbrass4424]

Great video Lawrence.

[@MrAaroncornish]

Simon The Beekeeper posted a note saying their smokers were not affected, and they included trading standards report showing negative asbestos test results. Might be worth checking

[@BlackMountainHoney]

Pretty sure that was the new guy who took over commenting on existing stock? As opposed to old company/older stock?

[@elenalazar7767]

out of curiosity , do you just take your hives up the mountain and locate them wherever you fancy , or do you put them in someone's property with their permision?

[@BlackMountainHoney]

Always with their permission

[@eastsussexbeesandwildlife5801]

Thanks for the video Laurence😅

[@albigensian4655]

happily those 14 stolen hives were recovered, they were found well hidden about 3 miles from where they were taken.

[@laightnightknits4358]

Which simon the beekeeper smoker??!!

[@BlackMountainHoney]

I think they released a note saying it wasnt me in the end!

[@jovanvujovic3932]
