Natural Beekeeping – Pure and Simple
The Idea
New life. New hope. A better way to an old truth, naturally.
Bee Natural is about keeping bees in a new, natural way. I once wrangled commercial bees. But, through time, I’ve learned it’s much better to just let them bee.
Interested in beekeeping? Why not keep bees naturally. Compared to conventional beekeeping methods, natural beekeeping is:
- easier.
- cleaner.
- greener.
- and much more spiritually satisfying.
Natural beekeepers do not work their bees. They work with their bees. I’ll show you how to become a natural beekeeper. It’s easier than you think!
So, if you’re interesting in keeping bees in a more natural way, check out my natural beekeeping concepts. And if you want an inexpensive, easy way to keep bees naturally, check out my top bar hive designs and plans.
Legacy Beekeeping
It’s all good. But best when natural.
Not ready for natural beekeeping? But you’ve got an interest in small cell beekeeping, queen rearing and Langstroth hive management. Stick around.
I’ll share my best ideas and experiences gleaned from decades of conventional commercial beekeeping. And I’ll also share a thing or two from the hobbyist perspective after leaving commercial beekeeping.
The Details
The details are in the rest of this site. Keeping bees? It’s all good. So, whatever your passion for bees, just enjoy! I hope your beekeeping experience will be better for your time spent here.

Dear Dennis,
I just found your site after I googled varroa mite and small cell comb. I grew up in Riverton, Wyoming but I was born in Missouri. I am now teaching English in Japan and about 3 years ago I gave a short, easy English presentation on CCD at a “super science” high school I teach at here. You have a wonderful site here and I’ve recommended it and posted a link on Facebook. I hope you don’t mind. I originally got interested after seeing a “60 Minutes” episode about CCD with David Hackenberg. Since the presentation I have neglected CCD study but I see that the European Commission has placed new restrictions on neonicotinoid use on crops. Peace bee with you!

I might also mention that although it’s spring here in Japan and there are flowers everywhere I have only seen one honeybee (no bumblebees or other smaller bees)in the last 3 weeks. Like a Wyoming ghost town! Anybody home! (I realize that this may be due to the lack of beekeepers in this area but there is a little farm nearby where they have (had?) bees.

Hi Warren
Thanks for the note.
There’s a neat Japanese beekeeper with some very interesting videos you might enjoy. Check out Mituro36′s YouTube Channel.
