What is Natural Beekeeping?

Natural beekeeping is a rare practice embraced by only 5% of beekeepers in Europe. Unlike conventional beekeeping, natural beekeeping puts the well-being of the bees first, and aims for the long term survival of the bees as a species.

We allow the bees to live as naturally as possible, respecting their instinct to breed and swarm.
Instead of spraying the bees with acids to combat mites, we encourage them to adapt to and overcome the threat as a species in order to have more resilient bees for future generations.
We also let them build their own honey combs and let them keep their hard earned honey, only gathering the surplus after winter. This builds a positive rapport with the bees, often allowing us to interact with them without the need of bee suits.
