Quality Hives at Knockout Prices

Welcome to our website, updated June 2009. We have recentlydecided to make a substantial reduction in the range of beekeeping products we offer. This may seem perverse, given the plight of the honeybee and the current very encouraging public interest in beekeeping. However, most of our products come from Eastern Europe and are priced in Euros; this means that they are now too expensive. We would like to thank our customers for all their business over the last 15 years or so.

Our 2009 catalogue is now available; please email us for your copy. We have tried to make the contents of the 2009 catalogue accurate, but inevitably as items sell out this will become impossible, so please email us, or if that is not possible telephone us, to check availability. We intend to post reasonably up-to-date information about stock on our website.

HORSLEY BOARDS We hope to have a supply of Horsley swarm control boards boards shortly. If you are interested, please let us know.

TASTER DAY 2009 This will take place on Saturday 27th June. To book your place, please email us ;if you cannot manage 27th June, please email us anyway, as we may be able to arrange an alternative.
