"I highly recommend the apprenticeship program with Bee Mindful. Nathalie B. is an amazing teacher. She has a wealth of beekeeping knowledge and experience, which she shares with
great enthusiasm. The program provides a good mix of hands-on and classroom learning. Well
worth the money. Thank you!"

"The owner really cares about bees. If you're looking into backyard beekeeping, her educational series covers how to care for the hives without chemicals treatments.
She offers her knowledge freely on social media and can teach you how to get started economically.
Thank you Nathalie B.!"

Thank you Nathalie B. for the transformational experience at your fall workshop on Natural Beekeeping. The expert knowledge passed on with the hands-on experiences during the 3
days left me feeling empowered and more confident to "dance" with my bees and take their
lead!
