Web sites

You won’t want much more information after you have read these sites and their associated links.

  • Top Bar and Natural Beekeeping Forum – Natural beekeeping – chemical-free and sustainable
  • What I would term as the Abbe Warre beekeeping manual, translated by David Heaf (www.warre.biobees.com)
  • Natural Beekeeping Trust - Promotes awareness of ways of beekeeping which take as their starting point the nature and needs of the bees, rather than maximising honey yields, thus ensuring long-term bee health.

Although the above sites are excellent and some have informative online forums, we find that many newcomers to beekeeping prefer our own open approach and sharing of our experiences. If you have a question that you do not wish to ask  publicly on a forum, email us direct and privately.

I hope we can be informative and of some help.

If you are looking for beekeepers protective clothing try Sherriff International. Tell Angela that David from Natural Beekeeping recommended them!

Thanks for adopting natural beekeeping and helping the UK Honey Bee.
