Who we are
About the farm
We founded our bee farm near Gloucester in 2011; today we work from our own purpose-built premises on a 13.22-acre (approx. 5 ha) plot at Churchdown, with our hives on farmland within 15 miles of our base – more than 22 million bees in all. Our main work is breeding queens and raising nucleus colonies: we sell F1 Buckfast and Carniolan queens and overwintered and spring nucs to beekeepers, and we also produce around 10 tonnes of English honey per season, sold in buckets and jars. From our online shop we post queens across the UK, while nucs are delivered by courier or can be collected from us on Saturdays; visits are by appointment only.

Write a review
How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
