Starting as a hobby during downtime in Didsbury, Manchester, the business owner embarked on a beekeeping journey over thirty years ago, led by a simple course offered by the Worker’s Education Association. What began as a winter pastime evolved into a lifelong passion and, eventually, a professional venture following redundancy in 2013. By early 2014, the founder took the reins of half a beekeeping business, transforming years of daydreams and plans into reality.
The business thrives on the sustainable and ethical management of bee populations across various locations, including golf courses, gardens, and allotments in Leicestershire and Derbyshire. The company's commitment extends beyond honey production to educating others. A newly established foundation course in beekeeping, alongside ongoing talks and workshops, underscores a dedication to advocacy and education about bees.
The operational heart of the business, a state-of-the-art honey extraction room, supports the spring honey crop, while a revamped website and freshly designed labels enhance product presentation. As a respected member of the BBKA (British Bee Keepers Association) and the BFA (Bee Farmer's Association), the owner continues to serve as a voice for bees, featuring in media like BBC radio and facilitating educational shoots, demonstrating a profound commitment to bee conservation and industry advancement.
