Bee Fayre

All our bee products are sourced from the forests and glades of Transylvania, well away from the influence of pesticides and intense farming practices. Our bees are healthy and untainted by bee problems found in the UK.



Our beekeepers are from a lineage of a well-preserved tradition going back centuries.
You will enable us to support this tradition by purchasing our environmentally friendly bee products.



Beehive products such as honey, pollen and propolis have been used and revered as foods and medicines for thousands of years, by many ancient civilizations such as the Aztecs, the Maya, the Egyptians, We Greeks and the Romans.



We have become interested in the quality of the bee products produced in the foothills of Transylvania . We hope by popularising this beautiful product created in such a pristine habitat we will help to ensure the livelihood for the bee keepers there by establishing a market over here. We hope long term to invest and preserve this precious habitat for the honey bee by investing in Alpine wild flower meadows, and establishing our own apairies with a training programe for the young people there. We have many problems with our bee populations here in the UK but although varroa mite is present in Translyvania it is controlled at acceptable levels not affecting their populations. Pesticides and pollutants are not present which is a significant factor in the purity of our products. Agricultural farming practices also go back centuries
It is worth noting honey , pollen and propolis work in synergy when taken together. Their qualities are complimentary so there is a distinct advantage of combining their use.



We stayed on a recent trip in a hunter’s cottage situated in the foothills of western Transylvania. The cottage was situated in a woodland glade about a mile up a steep climb, a winding path through thick forest. About 30 beehives surround the wildflower meadow outside the cottage .The incessant buzz of the bees was constant only interrupted by numerous birdcalls,(especially woodpeckers) grass hoppers and crickets also present in great numbers and diversity.. This is a lepidopterists paradise as well – We have never seen so many species in one area before, we saw our first purple emperor here on the first day!
