Your honey customers and the bees will benefit from all the natural components that only unadulterated honey gives. You can never compete against the big suppliers from abroad or the UK, but you CAN offer a premium product.
About me and bees

The Beekeeper
Although I've been keeping bees in West Berkshire for fifteen years, I quite rightly consider myself an amateur beekeeper. However, I have found the courage to give talks on the subject at BBKA Spring Conventions and Beekeeping Association meetings and have written several articles published in the BBKA News and BeeCraft. Often referring about my MISTAKES.

I have designed gadgets that I believe reduces stress to bees and the beekeeper! My DonDor unit, that is aimed at the National hive, has sold up and down the country. And now I have designed a DonMat that should see the end to you SMOKING bees! That must be good for the environment. More information is shown on the VIDEO tab. Do contact me by email for more details.

My passion for beekeeping has lead to me writing and publishing my book Buzzing with Ideas aimed at newcomers to the hobby who would appreciate the iconic good looks of a WBC hive. I now video virtually every inspection I do, which can be watched by other beekeepers at their leisure. I find this helps me immensely with record keeping that I struggle with as I get older!
