Donegal Bees

About Us

Donegal Bees was founded by Thomas Ellis in 2013, and later joined by Áine Curran in 2015. Both are passionate about protecting our environment and bees, especially the conservation of our native Irish Black Honey Bee. Our goal is to make beekeeping equipment affordable for everyone in order to help encourage and sustain the beekeeping culture in Ireland, which is vitally important for our ecosystem and livelihoods.

Donegal Bees supply a wide variety of hives, hive parts, and friendly advice, to beginner and experienced beekeepers all across the country. Visit our website to see our entire range of hive types, hive packs and starter kits. Gift vouchers are also available, which could come in handy for the beekeeper in your life!

Our range of Irish Wildflower Beeswax Candles includes 7 candle sizes, hand-rolled using our own 100% natural beeswax foundation sheets, with each named after a native Irish wildflower. Beeswax candles are known to purify the air when lit, aiding in stress relief and eliminating odours with its natural honey-like scent. They also burn longer, brighter and cleaner than regular candles, and are naturally biodegradable.
