Blackwater Honey

Blackwater Honey Founded in 2020, our name and inspiration came from the river Blackwater in County Cork. Our honey is 100% natural and made by our native Irish honeybees.

We have several apiaries throughout Ireland whereby each one produces its own distinctive taste. We are proud to be Ireland's Most Awarded Honey! We produce a highly sustainable product that is 100% natural and made by the native Irish honeybee. We have a strong conservation ethos whereby we only breed the endangered Native Irish Honeybee. We also offer Hive Adoption opportunities that could help

your business achieve its corporate sustainability responsibility. For more on our please visit www.blackwaterhoney.ie or email us directly at [email protected]

For the past few weeks we have been writing to you alongside other beekeepers requesting your attention and assistance in getting the Bill on the protection of our Native Irish Honeybee enacted. Now is the time to put your shoulders to the wheel and make the effort to complete the job. Never let it be said you you were the people in government who failed to protect this bee. Let your names be written in history for the right reasons. ยฉ Willie O'Byrne Master Beekeeper, Moneystown, Roundwood

At Blackwater Honey in Fermoy, Co. Cork, we are proud to work alongside the Native Irish Honey Bee Society, NIHBS๏ฟผ, helping to protect and conserve the Native Irish Honeybee, Apis mellifera mellifera.

Ireland holds one of the last strongholds of this native dark bee in Europe. Through responsible beekeeping, conservation apiaries, education, and our Adopt a Hive partnerships, we are helping to preserve this important part of Irelandโ€™s natural heritage.

Every hive adoption and every partnership supports biodiversity, pollination, native bee conservation, and sustainable environmental action.

Bees are vital for food production, biodiversity, and healthy ecosystems. Protecting the Native Irish Honeybee helps protect Irelandโ€™s future.

๐ŸŒธ EBA will continue to raise voice to protect bees, beekeepers, food security and consumers.

19/05/2026

Tomorrow is World Bee Day.
Across the country, thousands of beekeepers and supporters are now asking elected representatives to recognise the importance of this issue and to support meaningful protection measures for the Native Irish Honey Bee.
Our campaign continues to grow because people increasingly understand what is at stake:
โ€ข Loss of native genetics
โ€ข Increased hybridisation
We are not asking for the impossible. We are simply asking for recognition, engagement, and practical support for the conservation of Irelandโ€™s Native Honey Bee.
