I accidentally stepped on a bee barefoot and experienced that excruciating pain we’ve all felt, which leaves you wondering how such a small being could have such an impact. It was at that moment I also discovered I was allergic to bees!
It wasn’t until I turned 30 when my deep fascination for bees started. On a whim, I found myself on a flight to Sydney to partake in a beginner beekeeping course.
Our aim is to create a movement to encourage the growth of the bee population for the future of our planet.
Through education, we aspire to eradicate the fear and negative stigma currently associated with bees, promote an alternative way of thinking, encourage and educate the communities to become involved and passionate about the importance of pollination and preservation associated with the bee’s role as human keepers.
