Welcome to the PerfectBee Substack: Why we're here
A space for hobbyist beekeepers to learn, grow, and connect.
We’re delighted to launch PerfectBee’s official Substack newsletter—a new and supportive space to connect with hobbyists, backyard beekeepers, and bee-curious learners.
If you’re new to our community, here’s a bit of background on who we help, what we do, and what we offer both in and out of this exciting new space.
Introducing PerfectBee
In a nutshell, PerfectBee was founded in May 2015, and we’re coming up on our 10-year anniversary with pride and gratitude. From the start and still today, our focus has been simple:
To help hobbyist beekeepers learn about, practice, enjoy, and be successful in the wonderful pastime of beekeeping.
The word “pastime” feels like it understates the fascination and special relationship most beekeepers have with their bees. For many, it’s a passion—one that blends nature, science, and personal growth.
Over the years, we’ve been honored to support and introduce literally tens of thousands of people to beekeeping by offering:
A free Introductory Beekeeping Course—perfect for beginners curious about how to get started
The PerfectBee Store, featuring high-quality, U.S.-made hives, tools, protective gear, treatments, extraction equipment, and more
A robust library of hundreds of educational articles covering real-world tips and insights on beekeeping (and beekeepers!)
Our friendly and informative Colony membership community, where hobbyist beekeepers connect, ask questions, and share experiences
Full access to the Academy Beekeeping Syllabus, included with Colony, offering clear, structured and easy-to-absorb online beekeeping lessons for every step of the journey
Although we help and advise beekeepers with all levels of experience, we particularly enjoy guiding those who are seriously thinking about starting in beekeeping, but not sure where to start. It’s a key part of what we do!
One thing we know for certain is, whether you’re just getting started or already have bees in your backyard, PerfectBee is here to help you grow with confidence.
So, Why Substack?
Along with being another place where we share regular, interesting and valuable articles, we created this new space out of a desire to expand our practical, real-world advice in a flexible and personal way.
We’re excited to use this space to share:
Practical beekeeping advice
Seasonal insights to help you prepare and care for your hive year-round
Stories, highlights, and tips from real beekeepers across the community
Occasional behind-the-scenes updates about PerfectBee’s tools, education, and mission
Through our useful and enjoyable content, we’re excited about all the future opportunities to connect and learn from other beekeepers and people who share our passion
Let’s be honest! We might not know exactly where this will lead but that’s part of the fun of this.
