We are a small, family-run business that was founded in 2018.
The Bee handling crew is composed of two generations of Beekeepers with support from family trades people for hive construction and additional support enlisted for the harvesting activities.
Our philosophy is to produce Irish Honey Bee Products in the most sustainable ways possible. That means sourcing organic ingredients for our products that are free from chemicals/ perfumes and choosing to partner with vendors whom are making like minded sustainability choices, reducing waste and re-using materials as much as possible.

Conservation of the Native IRISH Honey Bee
We support conservation efforts for the native Black Irish Honey Bee Apis Melifera Melifera.
The Native Irish Honey Bee, Apis mellifera mellifera, (A.m.m.), also called the Black Bee or the Dark European Honey Bee was originally widespread throughout the whole of northern Europe but sadly is no longer prevalent there now, due to hybridisation with other sub-species. Status in Ireland: Scientific research and DNA analysis has confirmed the Irish A.m.m strain to be both pure and distinct in the paper ‘A significant pure population of the dark European honey bee (Apis mellifera mellifera) remains in Ireland
