Galtee Honey Farm is one of the most unique beekeeping establishments in Ireland, located in a conservation area for native Irish Black Bees, which produce award-winning honey and contribute hugely to pollination in the local environment.
Our honey is produced by our own bees. It is traceable back to us. No sugar has been added to our honey. We do not feed our bees sugar while they are producing honey. Our honey is not pasteurized or overheated. Many imported and supermarket honeys are pasteurized. This process destroys valuable enzymes and deteriorates the honey. Our honey bees are not treated with chemicals. If we need to treat our bees for a disease, we only use certified organic treatments. Our honey bees welfare is important to us. We do not exploit or expose our bees to high levels of stress.

Put on a bee suit, open beehives, see the workings of the colony close up, taste honey, and learn what to plant for bees.
