I met Nicole randomly at Replenova Farm Store, where I sell my jams, this spring, and found out she's a beekeeper, which is fascinating to me, so I instantly(may have come on strong) invited her to chat with me on the podcast, so I could learn all about it. She's got great stories to share, and good prep info for people interested in starting beekeeping.
Nicole has been learning about bees for many years, and took college courses on the subject! She is passionate about educating yourself and having a mentor to be prepared, and to have the best experience, and she tells us all about it here!
Nicole suggested checking out The Honey Exchange in Portland, ME for equipment and info.
If you want to learn more about beekeeping, feel free to contact Nicole on Instagram here, or on Facebook here. Also check out her stunning flowers/flower stand on her pages, or at her house if you're local - made beautiful for the bees and by the bees!
