Swarms

To some, a swarm of honey bees is a marvellous sight, a wonder of nature. However, not everyone feels the same way! We have registered swarm collectors who can collect unwanted swarms in a safe way.

Local Honey

Local honey from beekeepers in your area is a delicious and natural product. Honey is taken from frames inside the bee hives. Nothing is added or taken away. We have a list of beekeepers who sell local honey.

Bee Dating Agency

Every year Cheshire Beekeepers run a service called the Bee Dating Agency, in which buyers and sellers of bees are matched together. You must be a member to use this service.

The members area of the Cheshire BKA site has details of the scheme. You may have to register to access the members area of the Cheshire site.
