I’m passionate about supporting adults and children interested in bees, or beekeepers who want help to get started. When making decisions I always take into consideration the bees and our natural environment and I work in a calm, relaxed manner. My beekeeping experience begun in 2020 and since I have become familiar with traditional Langstroth, Flow hive and horizontal hives. My goals are to:
• be

safe
• respect these little but important creatures
• be aware of our environmental responsibilities, interdependence and ecosystems
• care for the health of bees
• use methods that are as natural as possible while still maintaining regulations and requirements
• educate those interested in beekeeping with an expectation that they will take an ongoing responsibility for and care for their bees
• ensure bees have enough honey before taking it for humans. My qualifications include:
• Bachelor of Education (Adult Education and Training)
• Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care
• Diploma of School Age Education and Care.
• Advanced Diploma of Children’s Services.

Next time you notice bees buzzing around flowers, get close up and take notice of their colour and size. Bees might be bred from single stock or might be a combination of genetics.

Beekeepers often mark the thorax (chest) of queen bees so they can easily find her. This does not effect the queen.
The paint chosen is often colour coded by year of birth to keep track of how old the queen is. This is an international symbol.
Eg: years ending 1 and 8 are white 2021/2028.
I encourage my bee-carers to choose a colour they can see easily.
