We’re all booked for the 2024 season! Keep an eye out for our busy bee mentee updates:)

Bee Rascals is interested in supporting you to create your own bee-related sanctuary, for well being.

We try to bee as natural and environmentally conscious as possible with each decision made for the bees, from materials used for their hive, what they eat, how to treat, to how we harvest their honey. The bees have a lot to teach us so we listen and learn from them as much as we can while also helping them to keep a clean and productive hive.

We recognize the learning curve to beekeeping and we know that not everyone wants to keep bees for the same purpose! Some want honey, some want to “save the bees”, some just want to observer the fantastic creatures, others want to pollinate a crop or a garden. How much to you want to manage the bees? We’ll work with you to get you up to speed with whichever type of beekeeper you’d like to bee 😉

Interested in Environmental Education and STEM/STEAM workshops for youth and/or families? Our beekeepers who are also environmental educators can provide that for you too. Let’s bee in touch;)
