How to become a beekeeper

Hello from sunny Manchester! ☀️

Our bees have been super buzzy in August, making TWICE as much honey as we expected. The few weeks of really hot weather meant there was more nectar and pollen to collect and the sun also makes the bees extra active. Bit like us humans - who wants to go out in the rain, right?!

We often get asked what it's like to be a beekeeper, what it involves, how you make honey and how you can give it a go yourself. WELL, today you're in luck, because we thought we'd go and ask Just Bee's head beekeeper, Ron, all these questions.

If you’d like to get into beekeeping, we recommend you get in touch with your local beekeeping association - this can be found here: bbka.org.uk/find-beekeeping-near-you

We'd love to hear what you think or if we've given you some inspiration to give it a go yourself!
