Guiding Principles​

I have a passion for our bees and a passion in supporting beekeepers.

I have owned and operated ABC Bees since 2010. As an expert in beekeeper training, my specialties include: 

  • Teaching beginner beekeeping basics through my 5-week, post-secondary accredited Level One Beekeeping Certification Course
  • Mentoring beekeepers through seasonal work plans for sustainable apiary management
  • Train beekeepers how to rear their own queen stocks and stop their dependence on expensive and unreliable foreign queen importation
  • Connecting innovations in science, management, and technology in apiculture to beekeepers through keynote webinars and online course programming.

 

Ultimately, I am an example of what is possible for beekeepers; both hobby and small-scale producers. Managing colonies on a shoestring budget, testing techniques, and making mistakes so I can teach and train beekeepers in detail about what works. 

Through a mix of step-by-step strategies, simple formulas, and methods, layered with critical feedback and open dialogue, I am a new beekeeper’s cheerleader and most accessible mentor. I am a fun, open-book, and forever a true beginner. I am eager to explore and find wonderment in beekeeping every day. To learn with ABC Bees is to become a part of a hive.
