Why donate to BeezKnees?
Content that’s written for the UK
UK weather, UK seasons, UK realities. Beekeeping isn’t the same everywhere — and advice that ignores that can confuse beginners fast.
Beginner-first (without dumbing it down)
The goal is to help new beekeepers make good decisions earlier: recognising normal brood, avoiding common mistakes, keeping clean kit, and staying calm during swarm season.
Better beekeeping means healthier bees
Good husbandry reduces disease pressure, supports overwintering success, and encourages responsible treatment and hygiene — especially around varroa and brood health.
Helping beyond honeybees
Pollinator-friendly gardens support bumblebees, solitary bees and hoverflies too. If you want easy wins, see Bee Gardening.
How donations are used (transparency)
Donations go towards maintaining and improving BeezKnees — including the time and cost involved in creating new UK-focused guides, keeping pages updated, improving usability on mobile, and expanding practical resources that support responsible beekeeping and pollinator-friendly habits.
No guilt, no pressure: if you can’t donate, you can still help bees by sharing reliable information and taking simple garden actions. This page is here for people who want to support the work.
