About The Team
From the St.Ubbins Apiary we manage between 10 and 20 hives (depending on the time of year). As well as a number of hives at other out apiaries, the team run various courses including an Apairy Tour, a Taster Session, an Introduction to Beekeeping as well as offering Beekeeping Talks to local community groups and schools.
The Bee Degree
New for 2020 is the launch of ‘the Bee Degree’ which is specially for schools, developed in conjunction with St Mary’s RC Primary School Haslingden.
National Trust
We are delighted to be supporting the national trust with the development of an apiary site at Gawthorpe Hall Burnley.

Save The Bees
Bees and other pollinators are critical, yet our wild bees are in decline.
We rely so heavily on these beautiful insects, over one third of everything we eat would disappear from our tables without our pollinating insects.
“If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees = no more pollination = no more plants = no more animals = no more man“ Albert Enstein
Britain’s Honeybee colonies are now increasing thanks to the increasing number of British hobby beekeepers. You can bee the change…….
If beekeeping is not for you, then why not play your part by:
Plant a garden
Planting wildflowers and bee friendly plants
Stop the use of pesticides in your garden
Build a bee hotel
Shop local and buy organic
Eat seasonally
We can learn such a lot from these beautiful creatures including:
Team work – Bees go about their tasks in relative independence, but they know it’s best to work in a team
Efficient and harmonious – supporting one another for mutual benefit
Bees, through complex and patient communication, work together to ensure that their colony thrives
Organisational efficiency
