Hello, dear reader. Thank you so much for considering supporting “The Bee Writes…”. We appreciate it sincerely and want to remind you that you rock!
The Bee Writes… on Patreon
The easiest way is to join “The Bee Writes…” at Patreon. Patreon is a membership page where fans, followers and friends of creators can support their favourite artists. I am sharing about our life in Ireland, setting up a homestead, my writing journey, a weekly poetry project called “Verse My Day” with a weekly downloadable diary, my speculative fiction work in progress, short stories, quotes and photos. I have also planned to work on a vlog/video, but my abilities don’t match my vision just yet. You need to sign up for an account you can use to be a patron and/or creator. I am now doing my posts in English & in German
There are three crews on Patreon that you can join:
Coffee Crew (2£ per month, the amounts are shown in your country’s currency on the page.)
What’s included
- Weekly early-access photo & quote posts

The money Patreon creates firstly goes back into my writing for the WordPress plan & domains, a Grammarly subscription, a Canva subscription, a Skill Share Subscription & the electricity needed for the notebook & phone to work. Anything above that will be our income to support the homestead and our New Life On The Hill.

Buy Me A Coffee
I am now also on “Buy Me A Coffee” which has a similar set-up like Patreon. However, my posts and the page there are in German first and then in English. Also you can do single donations rather than a membership

If you do not like to subscribe to anything but enjoy a quirky bag or shirt, then consider buying from the “The Bee Writes…” shop. There is also a blog where I share my experiences creating designs for it. Only a tiny amount comes to me from these designs because TeeMill organises everything from printing the products to shipping them to you. However, every little helps and as they support organic products, renewable energy & circular clothing production, I believe their prices are ok.
Here are some examples of the products I created:

Affiliate Links
If you like to support independent creators and are looking for fonts, images, and other details, check out Creative Market. When I created my new Logo with Canva, I was looking for some exciting fonts. I considered “Tan Nimbus” (affiliate link. I get a little amount if you buy), which is quite psychedelic. In the end, I went for Agrandir from another page, but I kept coming back to Creative Market to be inspired.
If you sign up or buy from any of these links, I’ll get a share:

If you love to learn, check out SkillShare. SkillShare is an online learning platform that teaches many skills via video courses. I am currently brushing up my German & English Grammar Skills but have also taken classes in video creating or creative writing. There is everything from gardening to starting a business. It’s a cool community where you can learn nearly anything in a fun and accessible way.
This “Refer A Friend” link gives you a month of SkillShare for free. If you join after this month, I will get a free month of Skillshare too.

If you love to learn languages, Duolingo is an excellent app and page to start and get the basics right. Their courses are fun, and one of their missions is to support endangered languages. The free account comes, of course, with ads, but you can also subscribe for 87.99£ per year. I get a free week of “SuperDuolingo”, which is the name of their paid subscription if you sign up with this link.

Thanks so much for your support. I appreciate you deeply and hope you’ll find something that makes your day. But if supporting financially isn’t possible for you, a shout-out on your social media would be much appreciated.
Please stay safe, stay kind and remember: you rock!
