“Rachael changed beekeeping for me. She gave me confidence by mentoring me and offering advice and suggestions while I was doing inspections of my beehive. Rachael is knowledgeable about the management of bees and you can tell she is interested in teaching. Her process is well- planned and flexible to deal with what nature and life throws your way. Not only has she been a great, reliable mentor, she has also become a friend. I’m sincerely happy Rachael became my Beekeeping mentor.”

“I heard Rachael speaking at Burnett’s Nursery and was taken aback by her passion and enthusiasm, and truly felt inspired to give beekeeping a go. I purchased a Gold Mentorship package which has been money well spent – I can contact Rachael at any time and have regular education sessions with her using a ‘hands on’ approach inspecting my hive and teaching me vital information to speed my learning. Rachael has been a great support and no question goes unanswered. I’m looking forward to eventually harvesting honey – Rachael will definitely be by my side for the ‘big’ event.”
