Hello and welcome!
As a scientist and beekeeper I have gained over the years a deeper understanding and appreciation of bees and the role they play in our ecosystems and human lives. Our relationship with honey bees is 40,000 years old, yet there is still so much that we do not know and understand about them. In this blog, I am happy to share with you my understanding of the litterature on honey bees, their behaviour and their needs to thrive and be healthy. I will also be publishing articles and tips on beekeeping and effective natural and organic methods to care for bees as a resource to beginner and experienced beekeepers.
