Hobby Beekeeping

Turning a 50 acre cash crop farm back to a wildflower bee sanctuary and business. Join me as I explain each week what we are doing and why we are bee "helpers" and not bee keepers. The name change on February 25, 2024, is reflected in the science that for me makes most sense. The goal is to listen to all aspects of beekeeping and to be an open and honest place for everyone to share their experience. The focus for our work and research continues to be on the conversion of the 50 acre farm back to nature and the re-wilding of lands in Nova Scotia. Treatment Free best describes what we are doing. Best to make that clear despite the usual backlash. Bee well.

    Will it Take 100 more Years to Save our Bees?

    It took 100 years or more for healthcare providers to wash their hands between seeing each patient routinely. When there are new findings in our beekeeping world, how long does it take us to try it seriously? I discuss this and why I think our new AI Hive Tool as we call it may help.
