Hampshire Natural Bees

Hampshire Natural Bees is an informal group of people whose aim is to support honey bees and wild bees as well as improve their environment. With honey bees we adopt a husbandry guided by the nature of the bee. Using bee-friendly, bee-appropriate methods, our members keep honey bees to promote bee health and welfare rather than maximise honey production.Bees are more than honey!
