It took me a long time to learn even the basics of beekeeping. I couldn’t find a lot of the answers I was looking for easily in one place. And experienced beekeepers weren’t talking much about what they knew…

What seems basic nowadays with my experience is vital in the beginning and the learning curve is huge. There’s always something to know and no clear way to find out what to learn first.

In my first year, I lost bees. Some absconded. Some swarmed off. I got wax moth. I got hive beetles. I got honey. I got unripe honey. I squashed a queen bee. And… I got stung.

Eventually, I started getting to know a few beekeepers. I managed to read the Beekeeping in South Africa book from back to front. I went on some bee courses. It cost me a small fortune to learn on the job and to grow my skills over the years. I made mistakes. I lost hives. I lost money. I lost time!

Lore of bees is powerful and ancient. The bee knowledge is normally passed from one generation to another. Old beekeepers are usually secretive about their craft.

Sometimes this is warranted. But I believe we can share our knowledge and the more people that get involved in beekeeping the better!
