Beekeeping For Hope started with Phoenix, she is our original Queen Bee. Named after her unique pattern on her thorax. She arrived as part of a locally caught swarm and was placed (with her colony) into a brand new beehive. She was part of a ‘prime’ swarm and once inside she didn’t take long to begin creating an incredible team of focused and calm honeybee workers and drones.

Partnership with Bee-Gone

In 2025 Beekeeping For Hope came into partnership with the incredible team behind Bee-Gone. With the amount of live honeybee removals we stepped in to provide a solution to help rehome them. We have opened our apiaries to give these bee another lease of life where they will be out to work for a cause greater than anything they can imagine.

Well-being of the Honeybees

Once we have these bees in our care we will give them the best chance at a new life. A secure home, a quiet location so they can begin doing what they do best and nourish and enhance their surrounding environment plus bring in some delicious honey that will help us with our charitable goals.
