Donegal Bees

About Us

Donegal Bees, founded in 2013 by Thomas Ellis and later joined by Áine Curran in 2015, both passionate about our environment and bees, especially the Native Irish Black Bee. One of our main objectives is to make beekeeping equipment affordable for everyone in order to sustain the beekeeping culture in Ireland as it is so vitally important for our environment. Yearly we make a donation to Bees for Development Ethiopia, a charity that enables families in the developing country to avail of an independent living from beekeeping.

Donegal Bees offer a wide variety of hives and hive parts, our most popular being the National Hive, which is used by beginners and experienced beekeepers all across the country. It is simple to use and comes largely recommended, why not check out our handmade National Hive packs and starter kits on our website.

Our new Christmas Family Gift Set is ideal to bring children and family members on the journey of bees - it includes fun and informative products for both children and adults.

Our Candle and Soap Set is perfect for anyone interested in natural products. Included are two 100% beeswax candles, known to purify the air and give off a natural glow setting a relaxed ambience, and one unfragranced soap that creates a natural exfoliant to keep your skin soft and nourished.

Do you know a beekeeper and can’t think of what to get them for Christmas? Why not buy one of our vouchers (to let them pick their own equipment), which can be used online and over the phone. We are now running a special on vouchers; order a voucher and get a bonus 10% added to the value. We also offer a huge range of silicon-based candle moulds suitable for making your own candles, you can view our full range on our website. We have recently started selling jewellery, ranging from brooches, earrings and rings. Our jewellery could make the perfect gift this Christmas.
