BEES IN THE WOOD TV

Who the hell are we?

We're a diverse and female led unscripted, regional, television production company.

Co-founded by Bianca Adefarakan-Davies and Sarah Wood,

We're creative with new voices and work with them to find the most engaging way to tell real stories
in an entertaining way.

Between us we have more than twenty-five years’ experience creating and making stand-out, successful content for various terrestrial and digital broadcasters, including: BBC, ITV, MTV, Sky, Channel 4,
Channel 5 and UKTV.

OK, so we aint bees but like bees we believe in symbiotic relationships and as such, the connection between the story and the storyteller is integral for us.

The stories we tell, blossom out of ordinary subjects but the journeys we take are distinctive and born from the inside of underrepresented communities, creating formats for factual entertainment and popular factual shows.

Bees in the Wood TV is a beneficiary of Channel 4’s Emerging indie Fund (Factual Entertainment) initiative.
