eekeeping the Natural Way is all about beekeeping as nature intended, working in close contact with nature, where everything around you is beautiful and peaceful; handling bee products and absorbing the odours of the hives. Forget all about GM foods and modern technologies, travel back in time with me and see how things used to be in the 'Good Old Days'. This site was created with a view of sharing my experiences with and to help other fellow Beekeepers.

When there's food on offer, the Wasp and the Honeybee call a truce and enjoy it together...

''If the bee disappears off the surface of the Earth, man would have no more than four years to live''. Albert Einstein:

To make one pound of honey, bees must collect nectar from 2 million flowers and from one hive, 55 thousand miles of flight must be undertaken to provide this one pound!


Killing honeybees is both needless and irresponsible. In the U.K. Apis mellifera is becoming very scarce in the wild. Beekeepers spend countless hours and lots of money keeping them alive every year to pollinate our food crops.

Your local Police Station/County Council will have a call-out list of Beekeepers who will attend and remove swarms.


As busy as a bee...Did you know? - Collectively, bees fly 24,000 miles and visit three to nine million flowers to make one pound of honey. Some of the flowers include dandelion, raspberry, blackberry, coneflower,bluebells, wallflower, poppy, white clovers, goldenrod, and heather. If one has allergies to these flowers, it is believed there is a beneficial anti-allergy effect by taking raw honey which contains trace amounts of their pollen. It is preferable to purchase honey from a local beekeeper near to your home, to ensure it contains the pollen you may be allergic to.
  • Bees have been on this planet for over 20 million years,
    whereas humans have only 'just arrived'.

"We have much to learn from the honeybee, bees can live without us but we cannot live without them. Plans are already under way for us to move to another planet, and when we do so, the honeybee will be coming with us"!
