Hello, I'm Ann Chilcott. I created the blog to indulge my passion for promoting honey bee health, beekeeping education and writing. I share my beekeeping successes and failures, and cover a range of topics including; honey bees, pollinators, nature and the environment. It's a not-for-profit site and you will not be bombarded by advertising.
