We look forward to sharing with you our experience and helping you get started in beekeeping confidently as a backyard or beginner beekeeper.
Getting into beekeeping is exciting, but you quickly realise there is a lot to learn. Investing in your knowledge and confidence as a Beekeeper is as important as buying a beehive or hive tool.
Join Nathan in this online workshop as we take you behind the scenes of what it's like to be a Backyard Beekeeper and learn about some of the considerations to get started yourself in this fascinating hobby.
During this Free Online Beekeeping Workshop, we’ll share some of the critical lessons and insights we learned in the first 90 days of becoming a Beekeeper. We’ll walk you through a blueprint outlining the critical decisions and information you’ll need to acquire to get started and begin your journey to become a confident Beekeeper.
Hello, I'm Nathan
Hello, I’m Nathan, a backyard urban Beekeeper that has grown to have 7 separate apiaries with around 40-50 hives. I’m based in far northern suburbs of Melbourne Australia at a place called Doreen and have hives in small suburban backyards, a local nursery & wellness centre, on large rural properties and even on the roof of a garage all within my local area. I live in Doreen with my Partner, Candice and my two Sons, Kai and Levi.
Beekeeping for me is more than just a hobby gone wild, its a passion. A hobby is something you do outside of your normal occupation, primarily for relaxation and enjoyment, but a passion, when you discover it, truly grips you and provides you with a new drive and determination. Beekeeping put me more in touch with nature, my local community and genuinely helps me de-stress and be a happier version of myself.

We were given the bee keeping tour as a gift and loved every minute of it. Our host Nathan was very informative and friendly, a great beginners introduction to bee keeping. We are now looking forward to starting our own bee hive.

I just had the best day! Nathan delivered a beautiful, healthy Nuc and gave me my first hands on bee 🐝 experience. I’d recommend this to anybody starting a hive. I feel comfortable and like I have great information thanks to Nathan. Cheers!

Nathan is excellent. We were very impressed with his knowledge and continued support throughout purchasing the bees and aftersales advice and encouragement with transferring the nuc and caring for our bees. Thank you Nathan! Legend..!

We purchased our Nuc hive from Nathan. The time between order and receipt gave us a chance to prepare the site and get some background information. Nathan was fantastic, any queries were responded to. We picked the hive up on Sunday and moved them into the 8 frame box the following Wednesday. The bees are expanding into the empty frames and are very busy and active. I recommend Beehivesforsale to anyone contemplating setting up hives, for both service and the quality of the bees. Thank you Nathan.
Mathew Mclardy
Nathan Is very committed to the bees and it rubs off in his work with them. Would definitely recommend. Very generous, kind and let’s you know what you need to know as a beginner without flooding you with too much information to over complicate things. Was very nervous at the start but end result was very enjoyable experience.
Eva Fonnes
My 12 year old son and I purchased a nuc and mentoring session from Nathan, and we are both really impressed and grateful. Nathan is an excellent and very knowledgable teacher, and a really nice guy as well.He answered all of our questions, helped us set up the hive and we now feel really confident that we can look after our bees well. Setting up the beehive was past of my sons school project, and Nathan was very happy to let him take the lead. Thanks a lot Nathan, this has been a really great experience.
