We are based in North Wales and manage around 150 colonies of bees, plus nucleus colonies.
We produce Great Taste Award winning honey and sell nucleus colonies to members of the public.
Our 6 frame overwintered nucleus colonies sell out very fast every year so early ordering is advisable.

We supply F1 Mated Buckfast and Jolanta Queens throughout the season. The UK Mated Jolanta Queens are reared using genetics used by the UK's biggest bee farmer - Murray McGregor - and are not available to general public, except through resellers like us! Check out our queens page on our website.

We are passionate about beekeeping and really enjoy helping beekeepers through our UA-cam channel.
On our channel you can find information on making splits with swarm cells, making increase with queen cells, grafting larvae, foulbrood and disease inspection, honey extraction and machinery, top tips for beginners, products reviews, instructions and guidance plus much more.
#NO NONSENSE BEEKEEPING is a UK based beekeeping channel, designed to keep beekeeping as simple and enjoyable as possible. There are no overly complicated techniques or intricate pieces of equipment.
We cover all beekeeping topics ranging from queen rearing, disease recognition/control, honey extraction, swarm management/collection, how to make splits and much more!
My personal favourite aspects of beekeeping are selecting queens for rearing, rearing queens for mating, making up nucs for overwintering and collecting swarms.
We aim to bridge the gap between commercial and hobbyist beekeepers and cater for beekeepers of all experience levels.

[@benjamincaro1574]

hello from France

[@lynnerousseau9676]

really interesting to see the behind that scenes 👍

[@diagobenjamin6456]

Wow laurence. Us as hobbyist beekeepers use a wax mold. Love from South Africa ❤

[@dogblackprincehoney]

Very good quality video. Thank you, Laurence. I think you should become a film maker instead of a beekeeper😊.

[@PinkettsHoney]

Really interesting to see the end to end process. Thanks Laurence and E.H. Thorne🙂

[@davidjbiscoe957]

Really interesting. Thank you Laurence

[@jack00scarecrow]

love this!

[@robtalliss]

Really interesting, I wondered how it was done.

[@MotionArtist3D]

Thanks Lawrence, for sharing with us some of the inner workings of Thorn's production processes. However pre wired foundation is not for me. For one the wires they use are not stainless steel but most importantly, these frames are much more difficult to remove old foundation drawn wax and clean as opposed to wired frames where you just have parallel stainless wires and so much easier to clean and on top, they are reusable once properly cleaned.

[@martindale7559]

Really enjoyed that, very interesting 👍

[@rickwarner516]

Great information ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@frugalstu]

Fantastic

[@eastsussexbeesandwildlife5801]

That was great😅

[@aidan5745]

Hey that Greg guy seems pretty swept up on his wax

[@aidan5745]

I would be paying him more if I worked at Thorne’s

[@sinisterhipp0]

I didn’t expect the wired part to be so manual. Thought it would be a machine wizzing zigzags over hundreds of sheets a min.

[@ThorneBeehives]

We do have automatic wiring machines aswell!!

[@brianbennett4374]

Where can people buy this 😊 thanks

[@jscfb]

Wouldn't have thought they were still manually wiring foundation no machines for that

[@BlackMountainHoney]

yep. Had about 8 people all wiring at once! 😀

[@ThorneBeehives]

We do also have three automatic wiring machines - and yes several manual machines.

[@munibungbeeking1719]

I overheated my wax once and it went brown I believe all brown wax has just been overheated

[@mohiuddinshah5558]

Sir which wax is used in this project

[@Devonhoneyandcandles]

love this!
