About Us

A scientist turned cheesemaker turned meadmaker turned beekeeper and now, a bee-t-shirt-maker. A few years after beekeeping, I started writing articles on bees and beekeepers from a from a scientific viewpoint to address the lack of technical information on bees. Now, I'm creating authentic beekeeping apparel to address the lack of technical merchandise on bees.

You can find niche ingroup in marine biology and quantum physics, so why not add beekeeping & melittology to that list?

These 100% Cotton T-shirts are designed, printed and pressed by yours truly (well, not the printing part). Based in Australia, with worldwide shipping available. Alas, it's not cheap.
