Beekeepers of the future

June 2014

Unfortunately bee farming is seen as a dying profession, and this is why we are delighted to be welcoming young blood in the Industry. Hannah joined us in June as part of the Bee Farmers Association 3 year scheme.

The scheme was launched in the spring of 2014 and is open to 16-24 year olds. Its aim is to give young people the skills and knowledge to create a successful career for themselves in the industry. After completing her 3 year programme, Hannah will receive a diploma towards excellence in bee farming.

One of the reasons our company heavily supports this programme is that we feel it is very important to educate young people so that this amazing craft doesn’t vanish and farming will continue long in to the future. We are very lucky to have the young brain of Hannah on board egar to learn valuable skills both in the warehouse and out on bee sites with Steve and Teal!
