Wax Exchange
Our wax exchange is back open! Have you got excess wax that you don't know what to do with? You can exchange it with us for either cash per kg or a voucher to spend on our store.
1kg of clean wax can be exchanged for £5.00 store credit. Depending on how much wax you have, we will come and collect it from you and send you your credit once we have received it.
The wax is quality controlled once it arrives with us and we would require you to send us a photo of the wax before you send it. If you are local, you can drop off your wax here in Bridge but by appointment only and following our COVID restrictions.

Live Bees Statement 2021
As you may have seen we have been making headlines this week with regards to importing bees and threats from DEFRA. There is no legal basis for DEFRA preventing the import of bees from Northern Ireland.
If you place an order or have placed an order for a package of bees, your £60 deposit goes into our separate bank account where it will be held. Should any of the circumstance change regarding COVID or import legislation, a full refund of these deposits will begiven.

Still waiting, for this item
Everything turned up on time, actually earlier than expected. Easy to put together and the addition of the runners was a nice addition. Perhaps some instructions would have been a bonus, however, a little thought and wollah! Not too difficult!
For Candlemas our Rector sent congratulations.
We have the contract............
I have not much of an idea what this is for as it was a gift for my son who keeps bees. All I can say is that delivery was prompt and in good order and the recipient was pleased with the item. We look to shop again in the future.
No problems with boxes but they took months to arrive with no messages to say what was happening. My money was taken as soon as I ordered.
Purchased quite a lot of this wax, and no trimming needed, nicely packed to protect it and not brittle - would definitely buy again.
What was brilliant too, was I ordered it one day and it arrived the following day (during Covid lockdown was super impressed with the speed our orders were dispatched).

I can't put any negative comment here, it was a really good grade, looks good once assembled and easy to put together.
We purchased 4 of these in total and all were good, so would 100% recommend them to anyone needing brood boxes.
Wow brilliant value item, arrived super quick and easy to put together, my bees are going to be very happy!
We have used an approved wood preserver to put on the outside and it looks smart and is great quality.
Thank you
Would buy again
