About Us
Dr. Garth A. Cambray is a Canadian/South African entrepreneur and beekeeper with 28 years of experience in apiculture and specializes in adding value to honey. His Ph.D. research developed a new advanced continuous fermentation method for making mead that has resulted in a number of companies globally being able to access markets for mead. His company, Makana Meadery, exports honey mead to the USA where it is available to discerning connoisseurs.
He has also developed technologies to commercially manufacture organic honey vinegar in Zambia for export globally. He holds a few patents globally in the ethanol industry and believes in technology and knowledge transfer for human development and environmental sustainability. One of his proudest achievements is the fact that the wind farm he started at one of his old apiary sites has essentially made his hometown carbon neutral.

I have been beekeeping for the past 3 years and found Beekeepertips.com to be a great source of information to support my learning. I like that they don't push a product if there is a DIY simple solution instead!
Getting the monthly newsletter helps me keep on top of the tips I need to keep my 4 hives alive and well. The detail around mite treatments has definitely saved our hives a couple of times last year.
