it all started with a garden…
I was very much into having my own vegetable garden, and growing my own food. Anything from eggplants to tomatoes and even lemons! Over time I noticed that some vegetables were not growing as much as they should be. I did some research as to why and realized there weren't many bees around pollinating the plants. I learned there after that honey bees were extremely important in any garden, either for pollinating vegetables or flowers.
Over the next year (2016) I did some more research into pollination, the different kinds of pollinators and how you even get them. I found a local beekeeping course starting in the winter of the following year, and decided to take the leap and signed up!
In the beginning of 2017, I completed the beekeeping class and shortly after made an order for my very own Italian Bees.
Since then, I have come along way and am constantly learning, either from workshops, books, online or from fellow beekeepers. Since getting honey bees, my garden has grown tremendously and I have never had some many vegetables and flowering plants!
