We’re pleased to announce that show pre-orders are now open for The Beekeeping Show 2026, taking place at the Telford International Centre on Saturday 21st February 2026.
First of all – apologies for being a little quiet recently. We’ve been very busy bees behind the scenes 🐝, with plenty going on here at BS Honey Bees Ltd. We’ll be sharing more on that soon, but for now we’re turning our attention to one of the biggest dates in the UK beekeeping calendar.
Visit Us at The Beekeeping Show 2026
The Beekeeping Show is always a key event for us. It’s a chance to meet customers face-to-face, answer questions properly, and allow beekeepers to see and handle our equipment in person.
📍 Location: Telford International Centre
🗓️ Date: Saturday 21st February 2026
📦 Collection: Pre-order online and collect from our stand on the day

Our Focus for The Beekeeping Show
At The Beekeeping Show 2026, our focus will be on our British-made National 2 in 1 Poly Nuc system and its full supporting range of components.
The 2 in 1 Poly Nuc was developed to give beekeepers flexibility. It can be run as a single nuc or divided into two independent colonies, making it suitable for swarm control, colony increase, queen rearing, mating nucs, and overwintering.
All of our poly nuc equipment is manufactured in Britain, designed specifically for UK conditions, and used extensively in our own beekeeping operation. This means the design is continually tested, refined, and supported by real-world use rather than just theoretical development.
A Complete, Compatible System
Rather than offering one-off boxes, we’ve developed a complete, modular system. Our poly nuc range includes interchangeable components that allow beekeepers to adapt their setup as colonies develop through the season.
By maintaining consistent specifications and long-term availability of parts, beekeepers can expand or modify their equipment year after year without compatibility issues.
This approach also ensures:
-
Reliable fit and finish across components
-
Strong insulation and durability
-
Equipment designed to last, not to be replaced season after season
British-Made, Not Imported Copies
In recent years, the market has seen an increase in imported poly equipment, often produced overseas with limited transparency around materials, design intent, or long-term support.
Our commitment remains firmly with British manufacturing, producing equipment we are confident in, stand behind, and use ourselves. We believe this provides better value over time and supports consistency, reliability, and ongoing availability for UK beekeepers.
