We were given the bee keeping tour as a gift and loved every minute of it. Our host Nathan was very informative and friendly, a great beginners introduction to bee keeping. We are now looking forward to starting our own bee hive.

Nathan Is very committed to the bees and it rubs off in his work with them. Would definitely recommend. Very generous, kind and let’s you know what you need to know as a beginner without flooding you with too much information to over complicate things. Was very nervous at the start but end result was very enjoyable experience.

I just had the best day! Nathan delivered a beautiful, healthy Nuc and gave me my first hands on bee 🐝 experience. I’d recommend this to anybody starting a hive. I feel comfortable and like I have great information thanks to Nathan. Cheers!

We purchased our Nuc hive from Nathan. The time between order and receipt gave us a chance to prepare the site and get some background information. Nathan was fantastic, any queries were responded to. We picked the hive up on Sunday and moved them into the 8 frame box the following Wednesday. The bees are expanding into the empty frames and are very busy and active. I recommend Beehivesforsale to anyone contemplating setting up hives, for both service and the quality of the bees. Thank you Nathan.

My 12 year old son and I purchased a nuc and mentoring session from Nathan, and we are both really impressed and grateful. Nathan is an excellent and very knowledgable teacher, and a really nice guy as well.He answered all of our questions, helped us set up the hive and we now feel really confident that we can look after our bees well. Setting up the beehive was past of my sons school project, and Nathan was very happy to let him take the lead. Thanks a lot Nathan, this has been a really great experience.

Recently bought some bees from Nathan and would recommend the delivery and mentoring session. It was great to have first hand information onsite as we settled the bees into their new environment. Nathan very generously answered all of my questions and made some great suggestions about helping the hive become established. A great service for anyone starting up bee keeping. Thanks Nathan.

I ordered a beginners bee hive kit from Nathan, and upgraded to a delivery and mentoring session. I would highly recommend the mentoring session to new beekeepers, but also existing hive owners that want a more intermediate to advanced session(perfect for flow hive owners). It was completely tailored to my needs and environment, the bees he delivered are extremely docile and easy to work with(for a beginner like myself). Overall great experience, a worthwhile investment to better your beekeeping.

What a fantastic experience I have had! From my first beehive tour, to buying my own bees and being mentored by Nathan at my home. Our first year with the flow hive we got over 40kg of honey. Our bees are so quiet we can harvest without our bee suit. He has mentored me and is always on call to help with questions. My confidence has grown so much thanks to his guidance and support. Highly recommend.

Nathan from Mayaxala Honey has provided us with a nucleus Colony of Bees 🐝🐝 that have a very gentle temperament, but have quickly grown into a strong colony. As a mentor, Nathan’s patience, calmness and knowledge has been highly valuable and he gave us confidence as we took our first steps as Beekeepers. I would definitely recommend Nathan as a reputable provider of bees and expertise. Our honey was sensational last year 🍯🍯🍯
David Shaw
Nathan supplied my first nucleus colony. Fantastic advice to get prepared and then great support with delivery and transfer of the bees. Highly recommended.
Scott Clarkson
I got my bees from Nathan 2 years ago now and he has come out to help me inspect my hives on occasions and has answered any questions I've had in regards to what's happening with my hive. I first met Nathan at one of his bee hive tours at rivers in Yarrambat and he inspired me to get into beekeeping myself. He has a great knowledge of bees and is happy to pass this onto people who want to start their own journey into beekeeping.
