Background
Friendly Bees began providing beehive products from the summer of 2005. It is our mission to bring natural health and happiness to our friendly customers with the help of our busy but wonderfully friendly bees. We believe the best way to achieve this goal is to follow a beekeeping practice reasonably close to Rudolf Steiner’s principles of biodynamic farming as well as experimenting with non-traditional concepts such as top-bar hives, open-bottom hives and cottage roofs to alleviate the stress caused by drumming raindrops. (Yes we have some wacky ideas but like to open minded) We give a wide a berth to the products of the pharmaceutical industry.
Company
Paul Scutt serves as Friendly Bees founder and tallest worker while Georgia Fremon, at age fifteen, makes up for her 'teen-ness' with boundless curiosity and enthusiasm. The approaching half million other workers exceed even Georgia in their dedication and industrious endeavours.

Facts
Approximately 300,000 employees (many seasonal) organised in twelve healthy colonies with each colony residing in and maintaining its own friendly beehive (we are thinking of giving the hives individual names - any suggestions?)
All bees enjoy the hospitality of Snipes Farm, Morrisville, and the freedom of the orchards thanks to the generosity of Jonathan Snipes and Susan Snipes-Wells, our neighbours and good friends.
