Natural honeybee produce, bees, and beekeeping insight from the apiary
Hi, I’m Jem – welcome to Jem’s Bees®.
This is an independent beekeeping business shaped by day to day life in my apiary and a genuine commitment to responsible, low impact practice.
In the shop you’ll find natural honeybee products, handmade items, and small batch goods, all carefully produced. I also create custom honey miniatures for gifts and businesses, and offer overwintered nucleus colonies to beekeepers via application.
Jem’s Bees® is run by Jem, an award recognised beekeeper focused on careful, attentive management, with an emphasis on sustainability, seasonality and respect for the bees.
Alongside the shop, the growing blog shares practical beekeeping insight for anyone curious about bees, whether you’re just starting out or more experienced. There’s also the Collect a Bee loyalty scheme, where you can earn and redeem bees (points), plus a family friendly puzzles page.
Why not try the Subeeku and see if you can win 60 bees!
WHERE TO NEXT?
Jem's Bees® is currently harvesting the Spring honey crop which means a lot of to-ing and fro-ing from the apiary to the HQ kitchen! All eyes on the shop for the honey drop!
cardboard?!
Yes. It represents much more than just smoker fuel. Read the philosophy page to find out what Jem means by this.
