What is a Brookfield Farm Hiveshare?

Hiveshare by Brookfield Farm is about sharing the joy of beekeeping. And getting your own raw honey direct from the beekeeper!

Hiveshare makes a great present for all occasions - Christmas, Birthdays, Weddings, or a treat for yourself.

Why Hiveshare?  

  • Hiveshare makes a great present for all occasions - Christmas, Birthdays, Weddings... or just to say you are thinking of someone.
  • Hiveshare is an experience that lasts all year. And you get your honey too!
  • Enjoy the flavour and health benefits of pure, cold filtered raw Irish honey
  • Our bees forage on trees and wildflowers; the farm’s acres of woodland are filled with bee-friendly trees and our acres of bee-meadows are colourful with wildflowers
  • Help bees and crop pollination
  • Protect bees by contributing to safe sanctuaries where they can live, feed and produce healthy hives and honey
  • Introducing a community-supported agriculture model for honey
  • Brookfield Farm are committed to the natural management and treatment of honey bees to extract high quality honey and beeswax
  • Support traditional old style, natural farming methods.
  • Help young apiarists learn beekeeping skills, support the future
  • Help us help the most important insect on our planet – No bees, no food!

Bees are under threat. Due to a complicated mix of environmental factors, chemicals used by garden owners and farmers and lack of flowers/nectar. Every year beekeepers lose hives through bees in the colony dying. But recently beekeepers are losing up to two thirds of their hives. Queen bees are also not living as long - about 3 years instead of 5. This is across Ireland and the world.

Creating Irish honey bee sanctuaries like Brookfield Farm will preserve these useful and amazing insects for future generations. And you can participate! As you enjoy the incredible flavours and health benefits of raw Irish honey, pure beeswax handmade candles and balms from the your Hiveshare subscription, we look after the bees!

 

        

    Brookfield Farm Principles

    • We love bees
    • We are led by the life and needs of the colonies who call our farm home.
    • We give our bees their own honey during the winter. (Only if they run out we feed additionally)
    • Our happy healthy colonies of bees produce the finest raw honey rich in minerals, pollen and propolis.
    • Award winning honey! Blas na hEireann national finalists.
    • Our honey is cold-filtered (never heated) to preserve the delicate flavour, enzymes, proteins and anti-oxidants.
    • Our hives produce honey and wax harvested from clean wax comb
