We're beekeepers too – owner-operators of Pyramid Apiaries in sunny Marlborough at the top of the South Island. Apiarist's Advocate is our passion project to the apiculture industry, a way of creating meaningful stories for beekeepers, by beekeepers.
A core principal of Apiarist's Advocate is making accurate and constructive "news, views and promotions" easily available to Kiwi beekeepers, so there are a range of methods in which you can access Apiarist's Advocate...

We first published Apiarist's Advocate as an eMagazine in August 2019 and have continued to do so every month since, as well as expanding into a news website and extensive social media following. Prior to beekeeping, Patrick worked as a sports reporter at stuff.co.nz and so Apiarist's Advocate brings together two passions: beekeeping and creating captivating stories.
​
Over the years a range of contributors and freelance writers have been brought on board to bring you, the reader, new and interesting content each month.
​
Apiarist's Advocate is free and independent. This means we are not aligned to any political or commerical interest in apiculture, although we encourage our readers to support our dedicated and diverse team of advertisers who make it all possible.
