About Us

Hi! My name is Matt.

I am a local beekeeper from Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire.

  
From our buzzing apiaries, we produce a delightful range of raw, pure, wildflower honey and beeswax products. 
  
Whether you’re looking for the golden sweetness of runny honey, the creamy texture of soft-set honey, the natural charm of beeswax candles, or the indulgence of cut comb honey, we’ve got something special for you.
  
Every jar and candle is a labour of love, crafted with care and respect for the hardworking bees that make it all possible. Thank you for supporting our journey and sharing in the joy of pure, natural products.
  
Are you looking to start beekeeping? We also sell colonies to new beekeepers or those looking to expand their apiary. Our queens are carefully selected for their:
✨ Calm Nature – Ideal for stress-free hive management.
🍯 Prolific Honey Production – Enjoy abundant harvests of golden honey.
🛡️ Varroa Resistance – Strong colonies built to thrive.
  
Whether you’re starting your first hive or adding to an existing apiary, our bees are bred to bring success to your beekeeping experience. Ready to grow your hive? Contact us today!
  
 

A honey bee swarm is a natural way a colony reproduces. When a hive becomes over-crowded, the old queen leaves the colony with thousands of worker bees to try and find a new place to live.
The bees will arrive as a large cloud of thousands of bees, before gathering temporarily on a tree, branch, fence or other structure while scout bees search for a suitable new nesting site.
Although a swarm can look dramatic, honey bees in this stage are usually calm and focused on protecting their queen.

If you see a swarm of bees in your garden, stay calm and retreat to a safe distance. You are likely to hear them first, or see a big cloud of bees flying overhead.
Although a swarm can look alarming, the bees are usually very gentle as they are focused on finding a new home. Avoid disturbing the bees and give me a call as soon as possible.
