Great value, great service... what's not to like. Excellent response from Customer Service.. even when I found out I was the problem.. not them!!! Highly recommend.
Great products, at a really great price. After watching Simon’s video demonstration I was sold on which NUC was going to be best, and ordered one. Less than 48 hours and it was at my door, having been... See more

I am a Newby.
I am a Newby to beekeeping from the start I have gone to S.T.B for all my stuff hive and all the bits that go with starting up. My nuke is great the bees are very calm. Everyone have been helpful from Harry to the boys in the back I haven't had a bad experience.
No updates on order
Placed an order earlier in the week, with a view on getting it delivered before the weekend.
Chased the order twice and both times they could not give me a date it would be delivered.
Could even be service orientated to let me know it was going to be delayed.
Absolutely poor service. Will not be ordering anything from here again.
Bought 55 SN4 frames and foundation…best ever!
Bought 55 SN4 frames and foundation lured by the keen pricing but wary that cheapness often equates to poor quality. However, I was pleasantly surprised, the frames were perfect, and the wax foundation fitted without any fettling and the pins were provided too. Absolutely perfect - ten out of ten. I was able to assemble 11 frames in a little over 30 minutes. Kudos to Simon the Beekeeper.
I'm not sure how this company makes…
I'm not sure how this company makes money with such good quality products at excellent prices. The cost of lots of packing tape must also eat into their profits as well! Over the years I have purchased hive parts, suits, tools, feed and feeders. I am pleased with all the purchases, the packaging and the speed of dispatch.
Astonishingly good service
Very competitive prices and good quality products. The service was second to none. Phoned with a query and spoke with Harry who was incredibly helpful and clearly passionate about beekeeping. Placed my order on-line and it arrived within 24 hours - can you ask for anything more? Not really is my opinion and Simon the Beekeeper has just become my preferred supplier!
Many thanks. David
Fabulous service
Great products, at a really great price. After watching Simon’s video demonstration I was sold on which NUC was going to be best, and ordered one. Less than 48 hours and it was at my door, having been extremely well packaged, and with frame nails also included(😲) Whole experience far exceeded my expectations and I wouldn’t hesitate to use again or recommend to others!😁
Great customer service and exactly as described
Me and my partner are new to Beekeeping and purchased our first Bee suits from here. Unfortunately one of the teeth and stop fell off but after contacting the company they quickly provided us with a new suit after providing photo evidence of the fault. We have had no problems with any of the other products we have purchased and my partner even bought another suit of a different model from them recently. We will always shop here for any further products in future and the customer service was great.
