S3 Ep31: Buy Irish honey, save Ireland’s bees, with Aoife Nic Giolla Coda
Wednesday, 29 October, 2025
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. In this episode of Food Matters, Aoife joins Mick Kelly of GIY to talk about the bond between bees and the environment, the hidden dangers of imported bees, and how simple choices like buying Irish honey can help sustain biodiversity, pollinators, and rural communities.
