About the Business

When I was 12 years old I caught the native bee bug. I had stumbled across articles on the internet, and quickly developed a keen interest in all kinds of bees. I had a teacher at school that lent me bee books and chatted with me about bees, and eventually I managed to save up enough money to buy a stingless beehive of my own.

I sat next to them for hours watching the foragers flying in and out of their hive with 'shopping baskets' full of pollen (I still do!). I even named the queen 'Beeanca'.

One hive turned into two, two turned into three, and I now keep around 200, 000 native bees in 20 hives.

In early 2018 I started an organisation called Bush Bees dedicated to native bees. With it, my vision is to make native bees, and learning about native bees more accessible for everyone, and to facilitate their preservation and growth.
