Our aim at Simon the Beekeeper is to make beekeeping an affordable hobby for everyone. We constantly strive to provide good quality products at the best possible prices.

Simon became interested in beekeeping after a heart transplant back in 2005. He made the natural progression from a keen gardener with an allotment, to a novice Beekeeper with the motivation of reintroducing honeybees into his own village. His admiration and respect has kept growing for the species that play such a vital part in the World’s ecology.

Our small team of dedicated staff are at hand to provide advice to both the experienced beekeeper and those just starting out. Simon posts regular Vlogs from his smallholding in Shropshire, which he now shares with Gino the Valais Blacknose sheep and his many furry friends. Be sure to check out our videos on our website and on social media.

We are proud to say that we despatch over 95% of all our orders within 1 working day¹.We also offer free postage for most UK² orders over £125 and express delivery options. We believe that the bees won’t wait, so why should you!

The foundation of the business evolved from Simon’s passion for beekeeping and helping other beekeepers, something that has stayed with us to this day.

¹Orders are dispatched on working days only, excluding Bank Holidays. ²Excludes Scottish Highlands and Islands, Northern Ireland, and offshore Islands. Full details can be found here.
