One of the best poly hives on the market! The Swienty National Hive. Totally compatible with Timber parts unlike many of the other hives on the market.
That’s why we have over 100 of them in our own honey farm. You can see by the photos….we don’t mind a bit of mix and match!! 😂.

The Ranger goes everywhere! Without this truck there would be no Gwenyn Gruffydd Award Winning Honey!!
Bees all tucked in on this site. Feeders off ready for the long winter!

Bees do love the ivy at this time of year! It’s basically the last pollen and nectar source of the year for them!

Unloading the Ranger full of honey supers!
Next time we do this it will be empty ones going back in!!
Beekeeing is basically moving heavy boxes around all summer! Well…….heavy if you’re lucky! 😉💪🏻
Of course heavy work needs heavy duty clothes! Carhartt gets the job done!! 💪🏻

When the bees are fed down well and they need to store some extra in the attic!! 😂.
Who else is guilty of storing stuff in the attic?

Thick and tasty!! Our British spring honey is fast to set but remains soft and smooth!
Delicious on toast!! 🍞🍯

Absolutely such an honour to have our products showcase on the World Stage at Apimondia next door to our good friends Wainwrights Bee Farm thanks to Gino Jabbar.
Truly a highlight for us. Thank you Gino. 💛💛💛

All you need to do is peel back the sticker and invert the bucket over the crown board! No need for a feeder!!!

Give them 14kg of the finest syrup available and they will be up to weight and ready for winter in one feed! Easy!! 😊👍🏻🐝

Are your bees too light to go into winter? Have you tried our APIInvert bucket by Südzucker in Germany?

A ready made feed formulated specifically for bees.

All you need to do is peel back the sticker and invert the bucket over the crown board! No need for a feeder!!!

Every Gwenyn Gruffydd candle is handmade with care 🐝

From hive to home — we use only pure beeswax for a clean, natural burn that lasts longer than paraffin or soy.

✨ Handmade in Wales ✨

This Bee Barrow is a back saver!!! A great investment around 4 years ago.

Little test run with the new Thomas Extraction kit!! 💪🏻 #honey #honeyextraction

By placing a bag over the top it stops any robbing in its tracks.
There are two types of bin bags. Good ones and bad ones. Always use good ones as the bad ones will rip easy.
We got these bags from Simon Safety and they’re really good!! 💪🏻

Clearer boards are in! Using Viktors bin bag method to stop robbing!

Honey supers are left exposed when the clearer boards are in.
Other bees or wasps can steal the honey especially when the bees have all moved into the brood box.

Turns out that drone is actually pretty amazing for the money and that’s the only one I’ve used. I feel now that I’m ready for a better one. One that’s a bit better flying in the wind and more stable.

What would you suggest? Any drone experts out there?

Filming with the drone has really improved the quality of my Beekeeing videos. I purchased the DJI Neo mainly because I was scared to crash an expensive drone.

Found this swarm under one of the stands. The bees must have swarmed and started building a nest under the hive stand.
We have left these in the past but they never survive the Welsh Winter.
Best to get these bees working in another colony.

It’s Harvest Time right across the Country! In Wales we normally crop the honey once a year. This harvest is a year’s worth of work for the beekeeper and the bee.
It’s truly a magical time of year. Bringing that liquid gold back home to the farm. 🐝
