OpenHive

OpenHive is a conservation organisation that focuses on supporting the Native Irish Honeybee.

OpenHive is run by Kyle Petrie, Mark Earley and Jack McGrath, three beekeepers. The simple focus of OpenHive is to harness a combined passion for beekeeping with a need for environmental sustainability. Launched in November 2019 OpenHive rears and breeds Irish black honeybees.

It supplies a range of award-winning local Irish honey products to fuel its conservation efforts. Openhive combines modern and sustainable techniques with the traditional craft of keeping bees. The conservation of the native Irish honeybee is at the heart of everything they do.

OpenHive is a proud member of the Wicklow Naturally.
