About me

I keep four hives in a meadow beside a red cottage. It started with a swarm in the apple tree eight years ago and a neighbour who lent me a box. Now I have painted hives, a shed full of frames and a good deal of honey that I mostly give away.

Every week I post about the job of the season: what the bees are doing and what I do about it. The things people ask for most became printable logs and checklists, a guide for beginners and two video courses for anyone getting started with a hive.
