Roy is a Registered Beekeeper and has been trained internationally in various fields of beekeeping. To stay abreast of new technology and research, he regularly participates in beekeeping courses to improve his knowledge and skills.
Roy really loves bees and gardening, and incorporates permaculture on our bee haven in Wanerie, north of Perth. He has an extensive apiary at the facility and intends to share his knowledge and skills with budding apiarists in the future.
Roy is passionate about educating people from all walks of life across schools, the community and government sectors about the importance of bees. He believes to ensure the protection of bees going forward, we need to educate children about their importance.
He regularly presents to students ranging from kindergarten to secondary school students, complementing the STEM investigations and programs teachers are introducing to their classes. In addition, he provides a real-world application to enable educators to meet the requirements of the WA science curriculum of Science Understanding, Science as a Human Endeavour and Science Inquiry skills.
When Roy is not attending to his own apiary yard, he is vigorously applying his dedication and knowledge into saving as many bee swarms throughout Perth. This is something that he believes is a critical factor in today’s ever-changing environment due to urban industrialisation causing loss of bee habitat.
As Sticky Prick Bee Haven is a family-owned business, Leanne multi-tasks between her role at the company and her role as mother to two adult daughters as well as looking after a busy home life. She manages what happens behind the scenes and processes all the sales of honey, educational program bookings and looks after the business’s financials. You will also often see Leanne making those important deliveries of honey and products to our loyal customers through Perth.

I Purchased a 3 layer suit from Roy a couple of months ago and have found it to be of excellent quality. The metal... zips interlock with precious little room for cranky bees to enter. There is nothing worse than looking at a bee cross eyed and working out that the little blighter is "Inside the veil"!I can interchange my standard hat veil with a fencing type veil, the suit is cool and roomy and great for those really hot days. Due to distance, I communicated via Facebook messenger for my purchase and there was no face to face contact when I purchased the suit. I made a mistake with the sizing and I have to say that Roy sorted it without fuss immediately. I have no hesitation in recommending Roy and the suits he is supplying.Thanks Royread more
Fantastic service, Roy was very helpful, friendly and prompt. I learned a lot from Roy today and would recommend him... to anyone who may need help with their bees. Thank You Roy!read more
I initially sent a message twice without getting a reply. Then 2 weeks later tried again, I had a reply yippeee saying... they couldn't do anything that day, fair enough. Then nothing, so I sent another 3 messages over a couple of days when I eventually managed to get a day booked for late arvo the next day, as I work a fair distance away I finished work an hour early to be home at a reasonable time but at 6:21pm as I hadn't seen anyone I sent another message asking if they were coming as we were going to a BBQ and I got a reply back no apology just saying he was stuck on another job. Since then not another message to say when he could reschedule.Rude and unprofessional is my opinion and experience of this companyread more
Good friendly service, very knowledgeable. Purchased a bee suit, it was a good price and the design ensured I got no... stings whatsoever. Thanks Roy!read more
