What our customers say

BS delivered a healthy queen with as advertised, and ready to go straight to my hive. The introduction seems to have gone very well so far to an already gentle hive, so I’m looking forward to more of the same

Finlay

I waited to see if the queen was accepted before submitting this review. A Buckfast Q to Welsh blacks is supposed to be difficult! Inspected today, eight days after introduction. Eggs in a nice pattern and a happy Queen on her brood.

Frank Greenaway

Queen accepted very well in some very stressful circumstances. This being to the very hot temperatures experienced this week. I checked the nuc hive the Queen was introduced into after 5 days from releasing the Queen. And the Queen has started laying very well, with plenty of eggs visible.

Mr S Smith

Bees are lovely and calm, great to handle. BS honey bees did a great job keeping me updated with any delays as weather plays a huge part. I found Their welfare standards regarding these issues excellent. Highly recommend the company. Great job 👍

Andy Black

Ordered a nuc of bees in February was kept informed and updated on progress and delivery of nuc over the next month's delivered without any hassle more or less on schedule. Very pleased with bees they are both healthy and calm and expanding well. Would definitely order from BS Honey Bees again many thanks
