Welcome to Urban Bees

We believe that keeping bees is a wonderful way to
bring nature to the city and a great way to get some fresh, local honey.

Did you know that there are hundreds of beekeepers
in the city and there have been for hundreds of years.

And because of the variety of plants in the gardens of
city dwellers urban bees produce gorgeous honey.
It is reckoned to be the best in the country.

Since bees are gentle creatures who eat only from flowers and plants they can live side by side with us in our urban
gardens.
