The Beeman

THE BEES

I supply British / Scottish Honey Bees & Mated Queen Bees. I work very hard to produce healthy strong & gentle bees that build up strong in early spring produce a good honey crop and survive the winter. I do not use any harsh chemicals that weaken the bees own immune system but favour the use of organic essential oils and nature’s own medicine cabinet to treat the bees as a result we suffer very few winter losses as the bees are strong and healthy.

Training Courses

Our Modern & forward thinking beekeeping courses are run at our dedicated training room and apiary based in Corsock Scotland just over the border Nr Dumfries.

I offer a wide number of courses for the very beginner to the more advanced our beginners courses are said to be the best in the UK

Our Instrumental insemination course is the only course of its type outside of the USA.

I also give free lifetime support to all beekeepers I care about the health of bees so even if you’re not a customer you can still call anytime for help or advice.

The Queens

My Queens are all grafted at our Corsock base from our best breeder Queens and then taken to mating nucs throughout the area. They are left in the mating nucs for 14-21 days to develop a laying pattern before they are assessed and placed on the Website for sale. If any queen is found not to be up to our standard they are rejected I feel if they not good enough for one of my hives they not good enough for yours               .
