BeeTree Honey STL

Welcome to BeeTree Honey STL!  I’m a backyard beekeeper living and working in Missouri.  I love keeping bees. I love talking about bees, I love learning about bees (mostly from them) and I love sharing what I've learned.
​
Keeping bees is what I decided to do when I realized the world was falling apart. I read news reports about climate change and pollution, but none of it seemed to be affecting me on a daily basis... until I started to look more closely.  I realized I was seeing fewer and fewer insects. Where were the fireflies, the butterflies, the moths, the bees? 

Where did all the insects go? 
 
Beekeeping has kept me alive. It is my anti-anxiety medication. It is my healing space. During Covid, it has proved to be all of these things and more. The bees can teach us so much. They are selfless, diligent and hard working.  They've persevered despite our chemicals and monoculture. The least I can do is try and help them. 
​
Oh yea, and then there's the honey!
