About AmazingBees
Amazing Bees is by no means a commercial organisation, just a beekeeper with a passionate hobby, located on the eastern fringe of Melbourne (Australia). My mission is to promote beekeeping, increase the knowledge about bees and raise awareness of the issues bees and beekeepers are facing. In the past and in the presence I have not been operating a "bee farm" nor a "honey farm" you could potentially visit. I keep my beehives on other people's private land.
Me and my wife started beekeeping in 2005 and it has been growing steadily. With the arrival of grand kids my wife is no longer engaged in beekeeping. She does enjoy the honey though.
Until recently, Beekeeping has been my dedicated hobby and required a significant investment in time, travel and engagement, especially during spring and summer. When recently my health condition worsened I no longer had the physical ability to handle all 23 of my hives. Therefore, I decided to reduce the number of beehives in 2023, leaving me with two hives in my backyard.
On the positive, it leaves me more time for my websites.
How did you get into beekeeping? is the question I have been often asked and the answer is a journey back in childhood.
No, it is not the honey.
