Steve Donohoe

Author

Steve is a beekeeper based in Cheshire in the UK. He is currently the editor of Bee Farmer magazine (for members of the Bee Farmers' Association) and runs a small bee farming business producing honey and nucleus colonies for local customers.

His recent book, Healthy Bees Heavy Hives, was a collaboration with Paul Horton (a successful migratory bee farmer in the UK). It focuses on UK commercial beekeeping and particularly on how to maximise your honey crop. The book has been well received by beekeepers at all scales of operation, and should prove useful to beginners as well as seasoned pros.

Steve's first book, Interviews With Beekeepers, was published in 2020 and has received great reviews from around the world. It features a series of interviews with well known beekeepers in USA, New Zealand, France and the UK. The experience of travelling to meet Steve's beekeeping heroes is documented in this unique book. The interviewees were: Michael Palmer, Randy Oliver, Ray Olivarez, Murray McGregor, David Kemp, Peter Little, Richard Noel and Peter Bray.
