Nancy Hands Embraces Sustainability with Open Hive Collaboration

Nancy Hands Bee Hive


We are proud to partner with OpenHive, a Dublin-based beekeeping company dedicated to

sustainability and biodiversity. Open Hive's commitment to natural beekeeping methods aligns

perfectly with our values.


By hosting Open Hive's bee hives on our pub's roof, we are not only supporting local bee populations but also contributing to the preservation of Irish honey bees, a vital component of our ecosystem. Join us in our journey towards a more

sustainable future, one honeybee at a time.


We have three hives of native Irish honey bees on the roof of Nancy Hands.


In the height of summer they will host roughly 50,000 bees per hive and hopefully produce 15-20 kg of honey each.


At the moment our hives are just getting started on the season. The queen bee is laying eggs which will hatch out into worker bees who will go and gather nectar and pollen (pollinating as they go).


The forage radius for a hive is roughly 5km, so they will be in Phoenix park for sure!
