Golden Island Limited

Back in 2006 the only similarity I had to a bee’s lifestyle was the endless work hours I put in my business, working as an industrial chemist within the superyacht sector! A chance encounter with a friend’s beehives changed my life upside down – from my very first visit I was bewitched and intrigued by these organised social insects and immediately decided that beekeeping will become my new hobby! Fast forward a couple of years and after several courses and endless hours of pouring over beekeeping books and videos, my three beehives multiplied exponentially and it became clear to me that a total change of career was unavoidable. In 2008 I decided to take the plunge and make apiculture my profession! Golden Island Ltd was born, and from the start sustainability was always at the heart of its ethos, and the health of the bees comes before financial gain. When I met my partner Denise some years ago she immediately fell in love with my girls – her gentle touch and deep connection to nature is invaluable and she nowadays helps me to nurture over 150 beehives, strategically placed all over Malta. We strive to be innovative and sustainable by placing several of our hives within Heritage Malta sites, to be able to promote Malta’s historical link to honey. Together we produce award winning Raw Maltese Honey of the highest quality and other beehive products like propolis, royal jelly, pollen, beeswax, natural cosmetics and beautiful natural beeswax candles. We also offer Queen Bees and colonies for sale.
