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'll send you out our nucleus with a clearly marked queen. A nucleus of Honey Bees on 6 national frames will give you a good start and allow you to follow the development of your new bee colony to its full size on 11 frames. Please note that as they are transported live in a lightweight box, delivery times may vary, however we will be able to keep you updated.
