Beekind® is a family-owned beekeeping and honey company based in Sebastopol, California in Sonoma County. For over 20 years, founders Doug and Katia Vincent have shared their passion for honeybees, sustainable hive care, and the many gifts of the hive.

This channel focuses primarily on practical beekeeping tips and education for both beginner and experienced beekeepers. Doug shares hands-on knowledge from decades of working with bees, covering topics like starting your first hive, seasonal hive inspections, swarm behavior, honey harvesting, hive health, and equipment best practices.

You’ll also see behind-the-scenes glimpses of life at Beekind, including honey production, beeswax candle making, and pollinator-friendly practices that support healthy ecosystems.

Whether you're just starting beekeeping or deepening your knowledge of honeybees, our goal is to share helpful guidance, inspire stewardship of pollinators, and celebrate the incredible world of the hive.
