Medibee Honey

Is beekeeping an art or a science?

You choose. At Medibee where beekeeping and biology are in harmony – and using ancient beekeeping skills and years of experience, we reap the harvest of every beehive at exactly the right time – the integrity of our products is paramount.

Beekeepers are always in a state of wonder at the industrious behaviour within the hive and the bees’ navigational skills around our beautiful valley. Bees can travel up to 6 miles. Bees are selfless, they work non-stop, seemingly. The workers (that’s right, the majority of bees who work flat out) wear themselves out – and live only 7-8 weeks during summer. Bees forage for pollen and honey in most weather conditions – damp or dry, warm or windy – but never, never in wet weather! Would you want to be grounded by wet wings? We have even witnessed a Queen Bee ‘taking the air’ on a cold, crisp Christmas Day – we know we are privileged to witness such a sight.
