SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY
We supply Surrey bees raised in our own Apiary. Our bee nucs are supplied on 5 National frames. Each nucleus contains a mated honey bee Queen, bees, frames of brood in all stages (eggs, open larvae, and sealed larvae), pollen stores and honey. The 5 frames of bees provided are perfect to start building a larger full 11 frame colony and suitable for national or WBC brood boxes. The bees and frames are supplied in a special cardboard nucleus box for transit.
We offer free delivery of a nucleus of bees within a 10 mile radius of our Surrey apiary. If you purchase a hive from us we will be happy to deliver and set the bees up in your new hive (10 mile radius of RH9).
Bees are usually available from June but are very limited so if you are interested please contact our bee keeper as early as possible to reserve your bees.
All our bees are descendants of a wild honey bee colony found in a damaged tree in our woods 1976 or have been rescued from local swarms. We do not buy in bees or Queens. We gently raise our bees in our own apiary and offer a limited number of bee nucs during the summer months.
We plant a variety of fruit trees, flowers and manage wild flower meadows, wild flower shrubs and blackberry briars to ensure their is plenty of food for both wild bees and insects and our own bees.
