Are they just trading under a different name now?

Patrick will probably pop up as a director of Hagan Bees within a few months.

More likely to be Beesrus Ltd...
(Companies House)

He’s been a director of that for the last 4 years, but you may be right that it might morph into BE 2 🤣

I'll be fuming if he's taken my order with all the sales emails going out and then liquidated it 2 days later, must be guilty of some kind of fraud if it doesn't get honoured? And does ShopPay cover my purchase? I've only got a debit card :-/

Their accounts are overdue - Y/E November 2023 should have been filed in August - not a good sign but it does not mean they are insolvent or in liquidation. He could just have closed the doors. He took back control from the Hagen lady in March of this year and he's now the only director. I think his marketing emails are largely automated so can't read much into that.

The beekeeping supply business has been tough in the UK in the last few years and whilst Bee Equipment had their problems it's always healthy to have some competition in the market place so it is sad that is an end to Patrick's beekeeping supply business.

Better to keep our comments factual for the time being - all we have at present is the public statement.
