THE SUSTAINABLE BEEKEEPER

Hi, I’m Tom!

A North London beekeeper providing beekeeping advice, equipment & beehives along with the odd educational nugget on how we can help our little friends.

I also make made-to-measure furniture on the side - all products sourced from reclaimed or sustainable materials!

Got a question? We’d love to hear from you - beehives, equipment, wood, concrete - I’ll help where I can!

 

Thanks for stopping by, tell me where you’re here…

 

Follow our journey.

The sun was poking through today so my girls started venturing out 🐝🌞 • Did you know, a hive can eat up to 11kg of honey stores a month 🍯 • February & March are the months your bees are most likely to starve after a long winter depleting food stores. The unpredictable weather means they can’t always get out to replenish stocks, so make sure you ‘heft’ your hive to ensure they have enough honey & feed them with supplementary fondant to keep their energy up! • Fancy beekeeping this year, need more info on a BBKA course or need to stock up on equipment?

Bees are essential for our survival🐝 They pollinate much of what we eat and play a critical role in sustaining ecosystems around the world 🌎 The last decade has been devastating for insect populations, and bees have been hit hard - with populations shrinking by a third in the UK. ⚠️Bee-killing neonicotinoids have been banned across Europe since 2013, but the UK government has just approved these deadly chemicals for emergency use - posing a lethal threat to bee populations. The Environment Minister must act to save our bees and protect them from harmful chemical farming.
