Beekeeping the Natural Way is all about beekeeping as nature intended, working in close contact with nature, where everything around you is beautiful and peaceful; handling bee products and absorbing the odours of the hives. This site was created with a view of sharing my experiences with other fellow Beekeepers.

In 1975 Robin Dartington designed and developed the first"Dartington Long Deep Hive" to explore a new system of beekeeping. This aims to be: safer, more enjoyable and to minimize swarming. This hive can be requeened annually without nucleus hives. "New Beekeeping" iis a synthesis of old ideas and techniques developed by bee experts over the last 150 years.

Organic Beekeeping methods include treatments using natural materials, honeybee nutritional supplements and a system of specialized beekeeping practices which promotes strong honeybee colonies. Everything used in Organic Beekeeping may be eaten and/or handled safely by both honeybee and bee keeper.We have no need of poisons or pesticides.
