I bought something online from their shop, and they have the best customer service ever. Thank you so much!

This course is a must for anyone interested in bees or purchasing a beehive. We really enjoyed the course and learnt so much. Couldn't imagine embarking on our bee journey without the knowledge we walked away with!

Fantastic prompt, honest and very knowledgeable service. Super speedy delivery. Will be buying more from them. Highly recommend

Just tried their "RAW BLUE GUM HONEY". It is one of the best ones I tried in a while. Perfectly balanced light taste and sweetness. So good.

Amazing what you can learn in a day when you have great teachers. This course was fascinating and inspiring.

Thanks for your prompt attention to my queries and your 100% support of the products you sell.
Other business's would do well to take a leaf out of your book.

Doug is always helpful with any beekeeping related queries. He only stocks quality products. Fast shipping at reasonable rates. Highly recommended.

I thoroughly enjoyed the day long course at the Urban Beehive. Great support and excellent resources. My nucleus arrives tomorrow, bright and early. I hope the girls love their new home! David

A really worthwhile course for anyone considering bee keeping. You’ll get all your questions answered in an informative, well-structured and entertaining way. You’ll also get some hands on experience on a hive, seeing how all the components work and identifying the different bees. This course demystified bee keeping for me. I’d been considering it for a while and it’s given me the confidence to proceed with taking on a couple of hives. Nice people too!

I recently ordered 8 nuc's from Urban Beehive. They were installed by Vicky as I am new to bee keeping and wanted to learn from the install procedure. Vicky was very, very helpful and answered all questions. She also gave advice and also what to watch for until the top boxes are ready to be installed. Vicky is coming back in a month to assist with inspection of the new families I have and if its OK to install the Flow Hive 2 Top boxes to be installed so that the honey process can begin. I can not wait till that time. If any one out there is thinking of starting a bee family to assist your environment and community flower and trees as well as getting a good supply of 100% honey then you can not go better then using Urban Beehive for any of your start up boxes as well as any other tools, clothing, you name it they can help.

Delightful course, interesting, practical, humorous and not too long with sufficient content to feel comfortable about getting started with a real beehive. Well done Doug and Vicky.

Received our beautiful new bees a couple of weeks ago and they appear healthy and happy. Was extremely satisfied with Doug and Vicky's advice and quick responses to emails over the last few months.

Variety of Sydney local honeys. Fair price. If possible, would love to have South Sydney honey.

Great Australian products at affordable prices.
Amazing flat rate shipping! The lowest I’ve seen compared to other beekeeping suppliers. Doug and Vicky are super friendly and will answer your queries via phone or email. Have ordered 2 x sets of hives,
PPE, and other tools. All the equipment I’ve ordered are amazing quality.

A huge thanks to Doug for supplying these amazing quality products. The boxes and frames are made of nice and thick pine. I have the bees in it now and they are loving it. The accessories that I got with the hive are amazing too. Recommended to anyone wanting good quality products at a competitive price. Will be back for more gear in the future.

My experience for the actual shop the people running it fantastic service best information thank you

Doug was super helpful, as are his two books. Thoroughly worth the purchase. Great advice, tips and equipment. I'll definitely be back to annoy him with a million more newbie questions.

I did the full day bee keeping course and found it highly insightful, educational and practical. If you have considered beekeeping as hobby, this course is great. Also Doug and Vicki have a wealth of knowledge and tips they have shared with me post the course as I have had further questions. Highly recommend the urban beehive.

Doug and Vicki are wonderful. The sure do know lots about Bees. If you have any questions or need to purchase something relating to Bee Keeping, they are the people to go to.
