Hive Consult

Imagine having over 10 years of apiculture science expertise right by your side. That's what you get with me, Sarah C, the bee enthusiast who's run a semi-commercial beekeeping operation, was taught by NZ's top pollination and apiculture scientist and who teaches the next generation of beekeepers. I bring the experience to your hive, opening it with you for a collaborative discussion on the best path forward for your colony and the upcoming season.

I'm fully certified to inspect for diseases, and I'm your go-to guide for various beekeeping tasks – from splitting and uniting to varroa management and beyond. This is your opportunity to tap into a wealth of knowledge and hands-on assistance.  Whether you have a specific question or issue, or you just need some guidance to better your beekeeping skills, I can answer all your beekeeping questions specifically related to each of your colonies.

Your hive, your questions, and my undivided attention! This isn't a one-size-fits-all consultation. I tailor my guidance to your specific needs, ensuring that you leave with newfound confidence in your beekeeping journey.  Once you start beekeeping you learn that all colonies are different and there are many ways to beekeep!  I'm not here to lecture you or tell you exactly what to do, I will give you all the options and outcomes that I know of so you can confidently choose your own journey.
