About Us

A small family beekeeping operation in Nailsea, North Somerset, started in 2023.

Who We Are

We started keeping bees in 2023 after a long-standing curiosity finally got the better of us. We joined the North Somerset Beekeepers Association, went through their training, and haven't looked back since.

It's a proper family effort. Our two girls love coming along to the hives, and everything we do โ€” from inspections to jarring โ€” gets done together. We keep our bees in the town and our honey is made here, not blended from somewhere else.

At the end of each season we extract and jar everything by hand. The beeswax from our hives goes into all our wax products, so what you buy is genuinely made from start to finish by us.

Part of the Community

We're members of the NSBKA and try to put something back in. We help out as trainers at their training apiary and volunteer with the swarm collectors โ€” picking up swarms across Nailsea, Clevedon and the surrounding area so they end up somewhere safe.

๐Ÿ† A Few Successes Along the Way

We've picked up a few prizes at the NSBKA shows โ€” 1st, 2nd and 3rd across Honey Fudge, Honey Shortbread, Honey Cake, wax products and 2nd in Medium Honey in 2026. In 2024 we won the Novice Shield, an overall award across multiple categories. Quietly proud of that one.
