Our farm is a safe haven for all pollinators including Ireland’s only native honey bee, Apis mellifera mellifera, also called the Irish Black Bee.

Important wild pollen and nectar producing flowers in the area include: Dandelion, Apple, Blackthorn, Hawthorn, Horse Chestnut, Willow, Blackberry, Clover, Knapweed, Ivy, Heather.
