Are you interested in learning about sustainable beekeeping and wildlife gardening? Do you want to help pollinators, and discover how best to create a healthy habitat? For the price of a magazine subscription you can have content and helpful tips and information sent to you, ready to view at your leisure.
Be part of a community that puts biodiversity front and centre of both beekeeping and gardening.
Choose a tier to suit you, whether it’s just to see how a beehive works and get planting ideas, or a full mentoring service wherever you are in the world!
For more information about the tiers, please see my main Patreon page.
About me
I have been keeping bees since 2009, and my background in agriculture, earth sciences, and natural history has led me to see beekeeping as a way of connecting with the landscape in a way no other interest can. I have a fascination with feral – particularly tree-dwelling – colonies as they have proven their ability to survive without intervention.
