🐝 Inspiring children and adults through the magic of honeybees 🐝

I’m an author, speaker and beekeeper– passionate about honeybees and the life lessons they offer. Here you’ll find videos from my apiary, updates on my books, behind-the-scenes content, and clips from talks and events.

I write the Betsie Valentine children’s book series, which weaves together bee knowledge, magical storytelling, and real-world inspiration.

📚 Betsie Valentine and the Honeybees
📚 Betsie Valentine and the Honourable Honeybee
📚 (More to come!)

I give engaging, educational talks to schools, WI groups, U3A, community groups (like Guides), and events—all about the honeybees and what they can teach us about more sustainable ways to live, and how they help both people and the planet thrive.

🌍 Visit my website to learn more about me, buy copies of my books and/or book me for a talk:
