About

National Bee Supplies is a forward-looking company founded on traditional values. At the heart of the business this is the excellent relationship we build with each and every one of our beekeeping customers

Bill and Paula Stevens are the hands-on owners of the company and head up a dedicated and experience team.  Every member of staff at National Bee Supplies “knows their stuff” when it comes to keeping bees.  Bill  is an experienced beekeeper and bee farmer who, like the rest of the team, will be delighted to help and assist with advice whenever you need it.

We manufacture our hives from scratch. All our beehives from Western Red Cedar in our Okehampton factory, a substantial site of around 15,000 sq ft. This is where we also hold our extensive stocks of beekeeping and ancillary processing equipment, which means delivery of your order is prompt and efficient.

Our dedicated team of craftsmen work throughout the year in our well equipped workshop to ensure our products are ready and waiting for when you need them. We aim to provide a next weekday delivery of customer orders from Scotland to Cornwall, Wales to The Wash.  During the periods of high demand delivery times will be extended dependent upon the level of demand and can in some cases be up to 28 days. For more than 20 years our company has been recognised as makers of the finest quality bee hives and frames money can buy. Craftsmanship and quality remain the cornerstone of our company.
