You can raise your own superfood – simply & naturally!
You’ve probably read that honey is considered “nature’s antibiotic” because it’s thought to keep wounds clean and to have powerful health properties.
But the honey you consume is only going to be as healthy as the bees that made it.
And it turns out that most people… are raising the wrong bees. Bees that aren’t suited to their environments. Bees that need a lot of propping up to stay alive, much less healthy!
You wouldn’t try to grow mangos in North Dakota, or Bing cherries in South Florida. But if you’ve ever tried to raise your own honey, you were probably told to buy your bees.
If your hives failed, then that right there may be one reason why. The bee clubs had you growing mangos in North Dakota! No wonder they told you to check on them constantly, treat them for mites, and feed them sugar water.
There’s a better way! You can enjoy the most delicious, nutritious superfood honey of your life, and have calm, happy and healthy bees. And best of all, this method is virtually hands-off. No more beekeeper suits!
Meet Your Instructor:
Adam Martin of Bee Kept
Hi, I’m Adam Martin of Bee Kept. My wife and I are part of a growing group of people who are returning to more natural, sustainable, traditional beekeeping methods. We don’t use chemicals or sugar water. We aren’t constantly inspecting and bothering our bees. And we don’t ever buy bees! You just don’t have to.
With some guidance, practice, and time, I learned how to keep bees naturally and sustainably with great success. And you can, too. In this class, I’ll share with you what I wish someone would have taught me before I started keeping bees…an easier and more simple way to keep bees sustainably, with no inputs, except for infrastructure.
By letting the bees forage for their own resources, build their nests, and swarm naturally, I have found that these normal behaviors are better for the bees. By letting the bees be bees, and managing them as close to natural conditions as possible, the bees tend to be calmer, which helps new beekeepers overcome the fear of bees which is common when starting out.
You can do this!
You won’t believe the benefits! By the end of this class, you’ll be ready to have:
Healthy, Local Honey Honey is only as healthy as the bees who make it. When you keep bees naturally, without feeding them sugar water, you get back the most nutrient-rich honey…and it tastes out of this world, whether you use it in baking, cooking, or just plain spreading on a slice of buttered toast.
Happy, Hardy Bees Bees who are kept in line with nature are more resilient, can weather challenges, and are less likely to sting because they are happy. This enables you to interact with them as co-workers and co-beneficiaries of the land, and teach others to do the same!
Lush Gardens and Pasture Bees are the best pollinators, flying up to 3 miles away from their hives to gather (and distribute) pollen. You’ll be amazed at how your bees benefit your flowers, vegetable gardens, and pasture.
Nearly Hands-Off Methods Natural beekeeping has a motto: “Let the Bees be Bees!” This means less time in the hives for the beekeeper, and fewer interventions. The bees take care of themselves just like they have for thousands of years.
Adapted, Local Bees No more buying nucs! With natural beekeeping, you’re working with bees from your own area, which means they can get through the winter and handle any pests that might come their way.
Easy, Healthy Hives No more heavy boxes to lift! Natural hives are horizontal and make gathering honey and checking on the bees safer and easier on you, and much less stressful for the bees.
