The apprenticeship has helped me progress and developed my career beyond my most optimistic expectations.

Jack was the second QEST Highgrove Enterprises Apprentice and completed his apprenticeship in bee keeping with The London Honey Company. Read our full news item about Jack’s apprenticeship

Through my apprenticeship I will be equipped to expand honey production in the UK and to pass on knowledge about pollinators, by running beekeeping courses and offering educational talks.
