Restore and Reconnect
Spiritwood is an eco preserve managed by Mike & Caz, who in 2014 became interested in beekeeping and bees, observing their essential natures, how they organised their hives and the immense amount of work they do to produce good honey. Mike and Caz decided to do all that they could to help the bees by providing as much natural wildflower and native species for them to collect pollen from whilst study as apprentices under an extremely experienced local beekeeper who was pleased to pass on all of her experience to them both.
Beekeeping has become a keystone part of the Spiritwood eco preserve and has a huge influence on the systems of land management and husbandry set up by Mike and Caz for the benefit of pollinators and honey production.
Restoring the land and reconnecting ourselves to nature, we have been working with this land here since 2006, working with groups and individuals to plant native woodlands, convert monoculture forest into diverse ecosystems, running training and permaculture courses. All with the intention of bringing us back into connection with the land.
“Spiritwood is 150 acres of mixed forest and fields near the beautiful Pembrokeshire coastline. Our vision is to restore the land to native woodlands and mixed conifer for local timber supply, enhance the fields with wildflower meadows, plant forest gardens and grow vegetables.”

Importantly now for the bees we are planting trees and wildflower forage that support pollinator and and honey production.
