Privacy policy

I will never sell your email address to spammers, send you information about anatomy enhancement, or request your help in moving millions out of the account of a deceased billionaire. The bees would buzz angrily, were I to do so!

In all seriousness: I really care about privacy, and this site is located on my privately hosted server located in a San Francisco data center in the United States. My server automatically logs non-personally identifiable information in aggregate. I use this information to gauge which content on this website is most helpful, in order to put my efforts into those areas.

Question submissions

If you have an urgent question about your particular bee situation, I collect certain information to help me help you and your bee, including your email address, your question, your name/nickname, and optionally your country/locale. Of these, your name/nickname and question are the only things that will be displayed publicly on this website (your email and location are never shared).

I use your email address in order to reply with an answer to your question, and I use your country/locale to help me give you the best answer. For example, it is often vital that I know what time of day it is locally where you live, because that has an impact on what to do for your particular bee. It is also helpful to know your country/locale in order to gauge weather conditions and to identify your bee.

Email Newsletter

I use your email address in order to send occasional bee-related email newsletters to you. You may opt out at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link at the end of any email newsletter you receive from me.

I am committed to keeping your information private and secure. My goal is to collect only the information I need in order to respond to your bee questions, and (if you subscribe) to share occasional bee news with you. I do not (and never shall) share your information with others.

I'm currently on hiatus from social media.
