Welcome to the Natural Beekeeping Trust

The Natural Beekeeping Trust aims to promote awareness of ways of beekeeping which take as their starting point the nature and needs of the bees, rather than maximising honey yields. The founders of the Trust believe that this is the best way to ensure long-term bee health.

The Trust encourages working with bees in a way which allows them to express their instincts fully through swarming, presence of drones, feeding on honey and warmth maintenance for the promotion of their general health and wellbeing.

The Trust collects information and research on methods which accord with these aims, and welcomes submissions of information of interest through info@naturalbeekeepingtrust.org.
The Trust is also indebted to the work of Dr Rudolf Steiner, and inspired by his insight into the nature and importance of bees.

PLEASE NOTE that we are the Natural Beekeeping Trust, and as such are not connected to any other organisations bearing the name ‘natural beekeeping’. We bring this to your attention merely to avoid confusion.
