“Hi, I’m William. I am 8 years old and I keep bees.”

About Me

I love keeping bees and want to be a farmer when I grow up!

I was three years old in 2020 when my parents bought a bee hive. It was meant to be a fun project during Covid lockdown but I became fascinated by the bees and how I could help look after them, harvest honey and create a safe home for them in my garden. 

My first harvest was in 2021 and since then I’ve been lucky enough to harvest honey every year.

I now have fifteen hives and try to buy a new one each year. Keeping bees also really helps with my dyslexia as I like to learn by being practical.
