Our bees are docile and productive
Often referred to as 'the beekeeper's bee', Buckfast bees are docile and very productive, making them perfect for both beginners and more experienced keepers. It's what makes them one of the most popular breeds in the UK and worldwide!
Our bees are ideal for the UK climate
Buckfast bees are very easy to work with, making them a great colony to take care of. Because they're used to the colder Northern European climate, they're some of the best for overwintering and can breed quickly in spring to bulk up their numbers.
Our colonies are ideal for getting started in beekeeping
Weather permitting, we send a nucleus with a clearly marked queen. A nucleus of honey bees on 6 national frames provides a strong start and supports full colony development up to 11 frames. We transport live bees in a lightweight box, which may cause variations in delivery times, but we provide updates throughout the process. We are based in South Wales and deliver honey across the UK, ensuring reliable service alongside careful handling of every order. Visit our blog for beekeeping tips and updates, and follow our social media for the newly launched products.
