Our growing collection of guides is organized into the following categories.
Getting started
Thinking about keeping bees? This collection covers everything you need to know before your first hive arrives, from choosing equipment to buying your first colony.
Bee Health
Practical bee health guides covering Varroa, disease and colony health checks, built from years of hands-on experience managing UK hives.
Colony Management
These guides cover the hands-on work: inspections, splits, swarm control and getting back on track after a loss, using the exact methods we use across our own apiaries.
Honey
These guides explain what’s really in your jar and how to get the best from it. Because no two jars of our honey taste the same, and that’s the point.
Queen Bees
Your queen is the single most important bee in the colony. These guides walk you through choosing, introducing, and managing queens, using the exact methods we use here every day.
Seasonal Care
Bees don’t work to a calendar you set. They respond to daylight, weather, and forage, and what a colony needs in March is nothing like what it needs in August.
