The Mac Giolla Coda Family
A Family’s Mission
This is a beekeeping legacy rooted in three generations. It began with Micheál Mac Giolla Coda, a passionate third generation beekeeper who saw the need to protect Ireland’s native honey bee. That mission is continued through his daughter Aoife, who took over in 2013.
Together, Aoife and Micheál have lectured on beekeeping across Ireland and internationally. Their commitment to education, conservation, and ethical beekeeping is at the heart of everything they do at Galtee Honey Farm.
Our Honey
100% Irish, Raw & Pure
Raw & unpasteurised: We never overheat our honey, keeping all the natural enzymes, antioxidants, and goodness intact.
No additives, no blending: Every jar is from our own hives – pure and traceable back to us.
Harvested with care: Each batch is seasonal, and unique in taste, depending on what the bees forage on.
Our Beeswax
Natural, chemical free
Our bees don’t just give us honey—they produce rich, golden beeswax that we harvest and purify with care.
- No additives or synthetic chemicals
- Small batch production from our own hives only
- Used in our candles, balms and beeswax wraps
Each product is handmade, sustainable, and a natural alternative to chemically treated goods.
