🎓🐝 I’m officially a graduate of Certificate III in Beekeeping with !
What an incredible experience it’s been learning alongside such passionate and inspiring fellow beekeepers. Huge thanks to David and Peter for their professionalism, generosity, and in-depth knowledge—this course was truly immersive and hands-on. They went above and beyond to give us a real-world view of beekeeping, from commercial to sideliner to micro operations.
One of the highlights was our trip to Kangaroo Island, where we were welcomed by legendary beekeepers at , , and . We asked questions, got our hands sticky, and saw firsthand how large-scale beekeeping runs.
We also learned how to build and prepare woodenware with (honestly, one of my favourite parts—who wouldn’t love playing with all the toys… I mean tools!). We explored nectar flows, native flora, tested for pests and disease, manipulated brood, collected pollen, raised queens, and tackled the challenge of feeding bees during one of the toughest seasons in years.
This journey has made me a better, more confident beekeeper. I already miss the monthly Bee School catch-ups with my dedicated and hardworking classmates. 🐝💛
Now, I’m excited to put everything I’ve learned into practice through my own business—BuzzRunner—where I’ll be sharing the buzz, supporting bee health, and helping others on their own beekeeping paths.
Massive thanks again to for creating such a rich, practical, and supportive learning environment. I’m so grateful for the experience and this wonderful beekeeping community. Onward and upward! 🐝✨
