Lewis Goddall, is a passionate beekeeper who’s been raising bees for about 4-5 seasons and holds rich baggage of valuable experience. He’s been practicing a lot in his apiary and also made mistakes from which he always learned. All this time, he had only one thing in mind – doing the best for his bees.
