Join the Abrey Family on their Beekeeping Journey

Natural Raw Honey Bees

Welcome to our Home Honey Bee Apiary / Bee Yard Channel – Our Beekeeping Story

We hope our channel will be interesting and invite you to join us as we journey and share our Beekeeping Story, as the seasons come and go. We plan to upload videos on a regular basis of our experience and on occasion reviews of our Beekeeping, as well as our Family Home Apiary/Bee Yard, here in beautiful Hertfordshire, United Kingdom.

Our ethos is to use sustainable approaches, exploring ways to understanding our bees and sharing this information to enable others to learn about honey bees, solitary bees and pollinators generally, understand the ecological world. We keep bees in Long Hives and peek in them without disturbing them. We’re trying emerging practices – which will share. We support climate action activities, increase biodiversity through our business, contributing to CO2 activist projects and plant trees every month. We support schools and youth groups.

Remember, It’s all about the bees!
