We are a small family run non-profit charity with huge dreams of helping people across the world with the aid of some very unique honeybees.

I’m James, and I’m the founder of Beekeeping For Hope. I absolutely love to teach people the art of beekeeping. We have a safe and relaxing environment where we can enjoy the calmness of nature whilst inspecting our honeybee colonies. I love people, I love insects, I love bees! Which is why I teach my passion. I love hearing people’s stories and seeing how I can help them on the incredible journey life is, in a unique way.. Via beekeeping.

There’s an incredible team behind Beekeeping For Hope and it’s these guys that have shaped us into what we are today. The advice and support they give us is mind-blowing.

FAITH AND BEEKEEPING

As a man of faith, I’m driven by a purpose greater than myself. My work is not about seeking personal glory, but rather about glorifying the most high. I approach each step with the guidance and support of that higher power, and the rewards I have experienced have been truly awe-inspiring. It is astonishing to witness how much has unfolded in such a short period of time, and it fills me with excitement to envision the future of Beekeeping For Hope. The potential and possibilities are truly mind-blowing.
