Beekeeping is not for everyone and it isn’t as simple as putting bees in a hive, not even a Flow hive (especially not a Flow hive…). It takes commitment to a lot of learning, investing in the right equipment, and quite a bit of work, especially your first two years. Many new beekeepers become overwhelmed or frustrated when reality comes into contact with their dreams.

For those who want to learn more about bees and get a ‘taste’ of having bees without the stress, I created my Sweetness and Light hive rental program. Check that out as a first step towards having bees or an alternative to keeping your own.
