Who Am I?
Hello Melanie here, thanks for checking out my web page. I have been reviewing products online for some time. I pride myself in providing visitors and readers with completely unbiased and honest reviews. I also bring a depth of experience as a relatively new beekeeper myself to the review.
I am proud to say that I became a beekeeper in September 2010. I went on training courses and read many books so I have a real idea of what is needed for beekeeping for beginners and will give you an insightful and honest review.
There is a little bit more information on the 'about me' page.
