Meet Niomi and Graham
A Husband and Wife team
We love the freedom of nature, the challenge of the Bees and the laughter of each other.
Bee & Berry is a family run a Honey Production enterprise. However, we are opening up new immersive experiences to widen your interests and open your mind to the wonderful world of the bee.
​
Our journey began with a shared vision and a determination to turn it into reality. We worked tirelessly, putting in long hours and overcoming countless obstacles along the way. But through it all, we never lost sight of our goal and now, we couldn't be prouder of what we've achieved together. Our success is a testament of teamwork and the unwavering commitment to our dreams.
​
Bee and Berry began with a simple idea - to grow a small but abundant crop of raspberries for the local market. We wanted to offer fresh and frozen berries, as well as the chance for foodies to enjoy a pick-your-own raspberry adventure. Although this has taken a back seat for the moment while we set the bees up, we've been working hard to build healthy and strong colonies. Starting with just 1kg of bees in a top bar hive, we now heading towards 2 hundred hives in Langstroth hives. As migratory beekeepers, we move our bees to nectar flows, and honeybee pollination services. We're dedicated to creating a strong and sustainable business with multiple income opportunities.

Graham is the Muscle and the Builder behind Bee & Berry
If it needs building or fixing Graham is the answer. All hives and frames are hand built. His ability to create extends to the transport of the bees, as Graham hand built the trailer we have used for the last 7 years. Currently he is repairing a 1980’s Volvo FL7 flatbed Truck to accommodate for our growing hive numbers. Additionally, the many beautiful photographs that can be both viewed on the website and at our market stall have been taken by him.
​
Niomi is the Marketing and Networking, the Business building and ideas, as well as product and label design. As Bee & Berry opens up immersive experiences, such as a Beehive introduction course and School-Based experience, Niomi takes the stand. Taking advantage of her 30 plus years of retail, communication, teaching and childcare experience, she is the face of these courses, effectively teaching skills and processes within the Beehive.
​
As a family-owned business, Niomi and Graham’s two children are fully involved and immersed in the Honey Production Environment. This includes partaking in construction of bee equipment, hive management, honey harvesting, social media assistance, marketing, retail sales, graphic design and photography.
