Guiding Principles
For more than a decade, we have been training beekeepers throughout the world.
We’ve taken hundreds of beekeepers on their journey each year, helping them to grow and improve their skills. Our passion has always been to teach, educate, and empower beekeepers to become the best they can be.
Since 2010, we have trained thousands of beekeepers, and we’ve seen tremendous success stories come out of it. We’ve seen beekeepers who have been able to turn their hobby into a thriving business, producing healthy and productive colonies each year. We’ve also seen beekeepers who simply wanted to gain a better understanding of the art of beekeeping, so that they can hone their skills and become better stewards of the environment.
Every year, we hear stories of our beekeepers doing amazing things. We’ve heard stories of beekeepers who have won awards for their honey production, ones who have started their own apiaries, and even some who have gone on to research the fascinating world of honeybees.
Our training program is very comprehensive and includes all aspects of beekeeping, from the basics to the advanced. We cover topics like colony management, honey production, disease prevention, hive design, and much more. We also provide our beekeepers with resources to help them continue their learning and development. These include online courses, webinars, and even events where they can participate in hands-on activities.
Each year, we get better and better at what we do. We are always finding new ways to improve the program, to make sure our beekeepers are getting the very best experience possible. We take pride in our program and in the successes of all our beekeepers.
So, if you are looking to start your beekeeping journey or if you’re just looking to improve your current beekeeping skills, come join us! We guarantee that you will gain knowledge, confidence, and beekeeping success in no time.
The ABC Bees Community is an amazing group.
Throughout the year we gather together, live online, to celebrate our successes, recent milestones and to support each others growth. But what truly makes the community special is the bond we form throughout the year. It is around a shared passion for learning, growing and encouraging one another.
Every day we connect with each other on the new platform abcbees.buzz, where we share articles, experiences, ideas and resources from all over the world. It is like a virtual hive where everyone can connect, share and offer support to one another. We all started off as strangers but ended up being like a big family. We offer each other encouragement as we achieve goals and cheered each other on when times were tough.
The ABC Bees Community is much more than just a group of people sharing a common goal; we are a group of friends and a support network. A place where people can go when they need help, or to just take a break from life. We all come from different walks of life and yet, despite our differences, we have formed a bond around our shared interest in bees. We are all unique in our own way and yet, in the ABC Bees Community, we can come together and celebrate the same things and lift each other up. That is what makes the ABC Bees Community unique and special.
You’ve decided to put in the work it takes to master the art of beekeeping.
We know that dedication and diligence are key, and ABC Bees is the perfect partner to guide you on your beekeeping journey.
The beekeeper’s path is not an easy one, and we recognize that striving for mastery means you must be attentive to the details and consistently practice each element of beekeeping. With the guidance of ABC Bees, you are given a comprehensive roadmap to success that will provide you with the building blocks required to hone your practice. Your colony is your responsibility, so we want to be sure you are doing everything you can to maximize their health.
Through observation and gaining understanding of what the bees are telling you, you will become confident in your abilities and strengthening your rapport with the colony. You will learn how to assess the bees’ wellbeing and confidently support them as needed. But mastery isn’t only found in knowledge and providing adequate care – it is also founded in the tranquility and connection that comes from practicing the craft.
ABC Bees is a partner that helps you to maintain solitude in your beekeeping practice whereby you can increase your connection to the bees and deepen your understanding of the art. It’s through the process of attentiveness, practice, and curiosity that you will find yourself becoming a more experienced and confident beekeeper. With ABC Bees’ guidance and support, you will be able to gain the necessary skills to help you to achieve mastery
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.
