It really is wonderful working on initiatives like this to engage and educate the public and younger generations about how important our pollinators really are! 🐝 Get in touch to find out how you can help!

These bees made their own ‘entrance block’ at the front of their hive on the first frame by using propolis! Adaptation at it’s finest! #adaptation #honeybees #nativebees #propolis #beeseason

It’s World Bee Day! This is one of the most important days of the year as it gives us chance to raise awareness and educate our followers, supporters and hopefully new friends as to why bees are so important! #WorldBeeDay #honeybees #pollinators #nectar #buckleysbees #ecosystem

It never gets old watching new life come Into the world! This is a worker bee hatching from its cell. It takes 21 days for a worker bee to hatch from when the queen lays the egg #honeybees #queenbee #nativebees #beeseason #workerbee #eggtohatch

Did you know that mowing your lawn less often is actually better for both your garden and pollinators? Use this as your excuse to put away the lawn mower, put your feet up and let your garden grow! #BuckleysBees #SaveTheBees #BeeFriendly #NoMowMovement #PollinatorsWelcome

It’s World Wildlife Day! 🐝 Did you know 80% of swarms don’t survive in the wild due to loss of habitat, food, climate change and pests and diseases. So it’s so important to contact a beekeeper if you see a swarm of honey bees! #nativebee #worldwildlifeday

In January the days begin to get longer and the Queen begins to lay eggs. You need to ensure there is enough food. Feed fondant if necessary. Check the entrance is clear of hive debris. Make sure the hive is dry and the roof is sound. #beediary #January

Ordinarily bees produce wax from the glands on their body. Have you seen this behaviour before?

In our collective 70 years of beekeeping we have never seen a honeybee collecting wax

Almost 90% of wild plants and 75% of leading global crops depend on animal pollination. One out of every three mouthfuls of our food depends on pollinators such as bees. 🐝🐝🐝#sustainability #beepopulation #pollinators #crops #foodsourcce

We are always looking for beekeepers to work with us and look after our colonies on our behalf. If you are interested and experienced get in touch with us at hello@buckleysbees.com #beekeeperswanted #bees #busybees #businessbees

Did you know bees detect taste with their front feet as well as their tongues and jaws? They have over 300 taste sensors on the tips of their antennae. #cleverbees #beefacts #buckleysbees

Happy New Year! Buckley's Bees are father and daughter David and Emma Buckley who have more than 65 years of beekeeping experience between them. They are on a mission to raise awareness of the importance of the native bee population and to sustainably reverse their decline.

We love working with businesses to encourage the native honeybee population. 🙏 🐝

Honeybees Facts: A Queen Bee can live up to 5 years; nectar is high in natural sugars providing energy for the bees to work; and a bees wing strokes approximately 11,400 times per minute! #queenbees

We can all do our bit to help pollinators whether that's in our gardens, balconies or windowsills. Planting a range of flowers to that they have access to nectar throughout the season is important. 🐝#pollinators #flowers #nectar #planting
