We want to support beekeeping and hence the growth in bee colonies.
Here to help both new beekeepers and experienced with our new online store selling beekeeping equipment to provide more choice here in Ireland especially since brexit. Shanballymore Apiary is a small but expanding apiary situated in northeast Galway in a rural setting. Here we focus only on the promotion and wellbeing of the native Irish black bee (Apis mellifera mellifera). All Bees and indeed pollinators are important to the health of this planet it’s just we believe passionately about the promotion and hence growth in numbers of the black bee here in Ireland.

The card can be programmed with any value you wish and never expires.
