Richard Noel – Your Guide to Beekeeping Success

Hi, I'm Richard Noel, the founder of Better Bee-Keeping Academy. For me, it's all about the bees!

After studying horticulture in the UK and running my own landscaping business, the world of beekeeping found me, and it has now become my life. What started out as a hobby quickly turned into an all-encompassing passion. I know very well what it's like to start small, have a few hives, and catch swarms.

Today, I have a purpose-built honey house and am growing my bee farm of 250+ colonies. I am still a one-man show, managing both my bees and my business single-handedly. I love that I can bring my background in horticulture and detailed knowledge of plants to support my bees.

Now that my honey house project is completed, I finally have time to offer support to others and help them succeed with honey bees. I am super excited about this because it has long been my wish to engage more on a personal level with my fellow beekeepers all over the world. So, wherever you are and however you keep bees, I would be truly honored to help.
