Bee responsible… Beehive Management Services was founded in 2017 by Pamela Chambers to support environmental and biodiversity initiatives by supplying, installing and managing beehives on behalf of private and corporate clients.
We offer a fully managed beehive management service, hands-on ‘one-to-one’ teaching services and a variety of ‘beekeeping days’ and workshops. Bee responsible… have a team of professional beekeepers that facilitate the management and training services on offer.

In 2009, Pamela installed her own apiary of bees in Hertfordshire and during her spare time, shadowed and worked with a variety of experienced beekeepers and completed an array of BBKA exams. Pamela is a nominated committee member, newsletter contributor and Bee Diseases Officer of her local Beekeeping Association.
In 2017, after becoming increasingly concerned about the decline in bee numbers, the impact that this has on biodiversity and on our ecosystem, Pamela founded Bee responsible….
