We are based in North Wales and manage around 150 colonies of bees, plus nucleus colonies.
We produce Great Taste Award winning honey and sell nucleus colonies to members of the public.
Our 6 frame overwintered nucleus colonies sell out very fast every year so early ordering is advisable.

We supply F1 Mated Buckfast and Jolanta Queens throughout the season. The UK Mated Jolanta Queens are reared using genetics used by the UK's biggest bee farmer - Murray McGregor - and are not available to general public, except through resellers like us! Check out our queens page on our website.

#NO NONSENSE BEEKEEPING is a UK based beekeeping channel, designed to keep beekeeping as simple and enjoyable as possible. There are no overly complicated techniques or intricate pieces of equipment.
We cover all beekeeping topics ranging from queen rearing, disease recognition/control, honey extraction, swarm management/collection, how to make splits and much more!
My personal favourite aspects of beekeeping are selecting queens for rearing, rearing queens for mating, making up nucs for overwintering and collecting swarms.

Your weather in North Wales is very similar to that of Northern Arizona except the rain. The temps are very similar. So I really gain a lot from your videos. This is my 2nd year having bees. Wintered 3 colonies and getting 2 more today. I’m retired military and love this hobby. And yes I have been to the Goodrich castle at Ross on the Wye.

[@markw.5128]

My local mongrels never fail to go into swarm mode themselves, pretty early in season, so they normally dictate to the beekeeper when to split. 🤣🤣 and usually all at once. 🙈🙈

[@Haemorrage]

I would love to be able to plan all of this from the armchair! As you say, I go when they tell me they are going.

[@tonyfisher7374]

Brilliant video

[@glynisreynolds446]

I’m happy to wait until the bees are ready 👍 They always know best 🤣🤣 🇬🇧

[@dreww3810]

Good advice. Going to be doing my first splits this year in Northern Ireland

[@lambbrookfarm4528]

Thanks Lawrence, useful timely advice.

[@mikemadasafish]

I overwinter Queens in (doubled up and insulated) mini nucs for Spring disasters/splitting.

[@sandcyngal]

Thank you from Central California.

[@nuruzzaman4893]

Any recommendations on where to get good queens from? And roughly how much should we be paying for one?

[@TheIrfanxz44]

I do the splits after honey flow

[@davidsmith663]

I was going to re queen my small colony, but having watched this video I wont bother now. It has to get many times bigger.

[@skyhighactiondrones5453]

Love this, common sense bee keepin

[@cherylwilliams5049]

One of my colonies has a frame almost full of capped drone brood, larvae, capped brood on the other frame, 2020 queen seen. Should I be worried? In the south of UK.

[@dewetsteyn3016]

exellent video

[@jeremybaker4979]

just to ask if there is any news from Ukraine? Did our donations get there? Oh and I am down to an apidea with two mini supers from last year just made a box for the mini frames to allow them to migrate up into an abelo 3 frame nuc. Amazing number of bees in the little tower. What began as an experiment may be the saving of my beekeeplng being as that's all I have left.

[@BlackMountainHoney]

Yes. He contacted me to say thank you. The German Bee Journal have also contacted him and are fundraising. I updated in the pinned comment on the video. Exciting times for your bees. See how many you could build it up to :D

[@jeremybaker4979]

@@BlackMountainHoney Thanks for letting us know. Cannot believe the latest cruelty that is happening. My problems with the bees doesn't compare.

[@ollysue69]
