Aoife Nic Giolla Coda’s love of beekeeping was passed down from her father, Micheál, who founded Galtee Honey Farm in 1970. When her father neared retirement, Aoife returned home to take over Galtee Honey Farm, determined to continue her family’s work protecting Ireland’s native black bee.

Today, Aoife carries on that family legacy, managing more than 170 colonies of Native Irish Black Honey Bees spread across the Galtee Vee Valley - where the counties of Tipperary, Limerick, and Cork meet.
