Important Update on Stock & Suppliers

Hi everyone,

I want to share an important update regarding stock and suppliers.

For the past five months, I’ve been dealing with ongoing issues with my supplier, including slow delivery times, invoices not being sent out in a timely manner, no replies to emails, and nothing arriving on time, including my own orders.

Because of this long-term lack of communication and reliability, a small number of customer orders were affected, and refunds have already been issued where needed.

My online store is temporarily offline while I sort everything out and move to a new, reliable supplier. I still have a good amount of stock here in-house, and I’ll be listing those items soon.

In the meantime, if there’s anything you need, just drop me a message and I’ll check if I have it available.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding while I get this sorted. Your support genuinely means a lot.

Bee Manx Update - High Demand & Waiting List

I’ve been inundated with calls recently, especially for bees in chimneys, roofs and other awkward spots.

With so many enquiries coming in at once, the list has grown quickly.

Just to clarify, I’m juggling removals alongside running Bee Manx, which includes managing my own colonies, carrying out checks, and completing orders.

Removals are only one part of the job, so I work through them steadily and safely in the order they come in.

If you’ve been trying to get through and haven’t managed, please keep trying or leave me a message. I will get back to you as soon as I can, it just might take a little longer than usual at the moment.

Because of the volume of calls, there is currently a waiting list for removals.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. It genuinely helps me keep both people and bees safe.

First bee removal of the season done today.
This colony had moved into a soffit and were a bit grumpy when disturbed, but using my purpose‑built bee vac I was able to extract them safely and calmly. I opened the soffit slightly further to reach the full comb structure, and the removal went extremely smoothly.

Their comb has been returned to the bees in their new hive, and the leftover wax will be rendered down for future foundation, candles, and our approved soap, nothing wasted.

The colony is now settling into a brand‑new Langstroth hive in my quarantine apiary for monitoring before they join the main apiary.

If you spot bees entering a soffit, roof space, shed or chimney, I offer ethical, welfare‑first removals across the island.

Swarm Season Reminder

We’re now heading into swarming season on the Isle of Man.If you spot a cluster of honeybees gathering on a branch, fence, wall, vehicle, or anywhere unusual, don’t panic, swarms are usually calm and just looking for a new home.

If you see a swarm, or have one on your property, Bee Manx will collect it free of charge and safely rehome it in a managed apiary to protect our island’s rare Varroa‑free bees.

We also carry out full bee removals from roofs, chimneys, sheds, barns and other structures.These are more complex and require specialist equipment, so removal work is a chargeable service.

Not sure if it’s bees or wasps? Send a photo and we’ll identify it for you.
