A community of beekeepers and happy bees from the greater Sneem area in Kerry

Established in 2010 with a mission to promote sustainable beekeeping for all

Supporting local beekeepers of all skill levels

Our approach to beekeeping is rooted in sustainability and respect for nature and each other. All community members prioritise the well-being of their bees, striving to create an environment that supports the bee’s natural instincts allowing them to thrive. By adopting responsible practices, we minimise our impact on the environment while maximising the benefits that bees provide.
