Award Winning Honey and Exceptional Bees
We source our Buckfast F1 Queens from this supplier, as their queens are specifically bred for calmness—both on the frame and within the apiary area.
This trait is essential to us, not only for our own enjoyment of beekeeping but also because we frequently introduce newcomers to the hives. A gentle, well-behaved colony makes for a much more welcoming experience.
Since our hives are located at the Bournville Village Trust headquarters, maintaining 'Good Behaviour' among our bees is absolutely vital.
A charity and housing organisation founded by chocolate maker and philanthropist George Cadbury in 1900
The BVT have been instrumental in our ability to keep bees in Bournville. Providing us with 2 Apiaries. One at their head office, and a second one at Rowheath Park.
Their ongoing support is invaluable to us.
Staff at head office have been through the bees on our apiary inspections, and always purchase the honey we generate from the Head office apiary.
