Our Story

In 1959, Jim Mac Eoin, a Limerick City native, moved with his family from Carlingford, Co. Louth to Townshend Street, Skibbereen, Co. Cork. He started beekeeping in his back garden under the apple trees. His passion and enthusiasm for his hobby inspired his son Gearoid to follow in his footsteps and turn a hobby into a business. That business has been supplying the people of West Cork and Ireland with honey, equipment and advice for nearly 50 years. Now, along with his own children, Gearoid wants to inspire as many people as he can to become beekeepers themselves.
