Hi there!

My name is Geo Marais, and I am the founder of Geo Bees (Pty) Ltd. My beekeeping journey began in 2016, when I was in Grade 10, with the purchase of my first four hives. My first honey harvest yielded NOTHING—all my bees perished due to extreme heat and a lack of proper equipment. But lessons were learned, and in 2017, I successfully harvested my first 24 jars of citrus honey!

As my passion for beekeeping grew, I expanded my business, supplying superstores and local farm stalls. Originally named G-Bees (a nod to the Bee Gees band from the late ‘60s), I officially registered my business as Geo Bees (Pty) Ltd in 2020. Throughout my studies at Stellenbosch University, I managed my business while earning my BSc in Plant and Soil Sciences in 2024.

Today, I oversee 104 hives, with extra hands helping during harvest season. Every jar is bottled, labeled, and sealed with care by my father and me. Thank you for supporting your local beekeeper!
