Ecology & Beekeeping

Professional Beekeeping Services

Hives installed, inspected and harvested for homes, schools and estates.

We support healthy bee populations, carry out safe removals and produce local honey across North London, Essex and Hertfordshire.

Our beekeeping mixes ecology, craft and community. Our honey, Willow's Love It Honey, is jarred and labelled by Jason's daughter Willow.

FAQs

Common questions

Will bees in my garden be a nuisance?

Honeybees are calm when managed well. We position hives so the flight path rises above head height and away from paths.

Do I get the honey?

Yes. You get honey from your hives, bottled and labelled. We can add your own label too.
