Meet Your Beekeeper
Hi, I’m Elizabeth.
I began beekeeping in 2021, and it quickly became one of the most rewarding parts of my life. Now, all I want to do is share the magic of bees and honey with my community.
For many people, beekeeping can feel intimidating or out of reach. My mission is to make it simple and accessible by serving as your private beekeeper. Together, we can support the health of your neighborhood’s ecosystem — and enjoy delicious, raw local honey along the way.
What It Takes to Host a Hive
Hosting bees in Los Angeles is simpler than many people expect. City guidelines require six-foot walls, fences, or hedges so bees naturally fly upward and away from neighboring properties. A reliable water source is essential, and hives perform best when placed in direct sunlight for as much of the day as possible.
In urban settings, full sun can be hard to come by—but with thoughtful placement and guidance, most properties can support a healthy hive. We assess each site carefully and help identify the best possible location for long-term success.
