Our Story

BeesDIY.com was founded by a team of passionate beekeepers, led by Froster Collings, a seasoned beekeeper with over two decades of experience, and his daughter, Kerry Collings, who grew up alongside her father, immersed in the world of bees. Together, they built this platform to share their expertise, love for bees, and a deep commitment to supporting pollinators worldwide. Joined by a dedicated team, including Evelyn Marshall as Beekeeper and content creator, Richard Donaldson, our social media expert, and Peter Thomas, our content manager, we aim to create a thriving resource and community for all things beekeeping.

Why Bees Matter

Bees are more than just honey producers—they are essential pollinators, responsible for about one-third of the food we eat. As bee populations face increasing threats from habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change, beekeeping has become an important way to support these vital insects. At BeesDIY.com, we’re committed to educating and empowering individuals to help protect and sustain bee populations, whether through backyard beekeeping or simply supporting bee-friendly environments.
