Beekeeper For Hire / Consultation Services

• Unsure how to hive your package of bees?
• Want help figuring out why your bees died?
  
• Just want someone to walk you through your initial hive visit?
  

Organic Beekeeping consultation service: available at the rate of $80 an hour for consultation. While most consultations are offered either by phone or e-mail, I can also do on-site consultations at the same rate with a $80 per hour driving time fee (measured only while traveling to the on-site location from my home in Middlebury, Vermont). Of course if you catch me in person, I am happy to answer any and all questions gratis.
