We love helping people get started in beekeeping!
We offer several levels of mentoring
We are always learning about new techniques in beekeeping and experimenting with new ideas in our own apiaries. We keep detailed notes and share our experiences with many experienced beekeepers.
Michelle has completed the highest level of the Texas Master Beekeeping Program and is currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Entomology with a focus on beekeeping. Her style of teaching is to understand your goals and then make a plan to help you achieve those beekeeping goals. She engages with you while working your bees, guiding you in best practices, understanding what’s happening in your colonies and helping you learn to problem solve and grow in your understanding of beekeeping.
We also learn from you, as well, so please ask questions and share ideas!
Our goal is to get you as comfortable with your bees as you want to be, while keeping healthy hives.
Texting, phone calls and emails are free of charge. Be prepared to show pics of your hives and have a working knowledge of your equipment and bees.
We will visit your site before your bees arrive and assess a proper location for your hives. We’ll come back when your bees arrive and help install them in their new home. One week later we’ll return to do a hive inspection to make sure your hive is queenright.
