Don’t just take our word for it

Eliese is smart, knowledgeable, personable and just plain nice. Her beekeeping knowledge is far beyond most and she knows how to communicate it. But beyond that she has a charisma that I don’t know how to put into words. People just find it a joy to be around her.

Eliese, the format of her webinars and question and answer period, is the best I've ever participated in. This was a great event to take part in.

Amazing support from the initial education/class to ongoing mentoring and general availability for questions. I cannot stress to beginners enough how starting with ABC is like having a bee master in your back pocket! Thank you for the support and many opportunities to learn and experience.

As someone who wanted bees and finally managed to get some, I need all the help I can get and really appreciate your help. Thank you.

Eliese has literally counselled us through tricky installs, pest/disease management (oxalic acid!) and we've had to purchase queens from ABC Bees many times. Thank you for all that you do!

ABC Bees provides amazing support and learning opportunities for new beekeepers. I know I'll hit bumps in the road but right now I'm feeling well equipped and am really enjoying the journey.
