Hanging Wood Beekeeping

About Us

About Us

Established in 1976 We manufacture WBC, National and Commercial bee hives. Limited Bee nucs are available for sale in June from our Surrey raised bees. Free delivery and setup is provided within a 10 mile radius of our woods. Free beekeeping support with complete hive purchases. Throughout the summer, we offer practical one day beekeeping courses run in our own training centre and apiary. We offer local honey bee swarm collection from Edinbridge, Lingfield, Caterham, Oxted, Warlingham, Nutfield, Westerham, Whyteleafe, Edinbridge, Godstone, Biggin Hill, Woldingham, Croydon and Tatsfield.
In 1976 we found a wild colony of honey bees in a tree that was felled due to disease. This is when are beekeeping journey began. We now specialise in hand assembled bee hives made from Western Red Cedar timber. Some of our timber is grown, felled, planked, air-dried and planed on site in our plantation on the North Downs, Surrey, England. We manage the small plantation producing quality timber while encouraging and supporting wildlife through the creation and conservation of natural habitats. Great care is given to the selection process of our timber and the re-planting process of previously felled areas. Some of the components are made from Western Cedar Red sourced from outside our plantation. We ensure the wood is sustainable and high quality. The end result is a fine, unique, handmade hive that will be a pleasure to own, pleasing to the eye and perfectly suited to provide an easy to manage, low maintenance, long-term home for the honey-bee colony. All our bees are descendants of the original wild honey bee colony or have been rescued from local swarms. We do not buy in bees or Queens. We gently raise our bees in our own apiary and offer a limited number of bee nucs during the summer months. If you are interested in keeping bees but have no experience then please check out our one day practical bee keeping courses.
