A lot of beekeepers I know, some I don't know, and a few I don't want to know

My son Davis when he was a wee beekeeper.

My mom after she had been stung up pretty badly the day before, now she always wears her veil.

I don't always wear a veil.....zionks!

Shannon Kelly

Brother Adam seems like a pretty amazing guy. A little nutty and hard to understand in his video, but did volumes for bee breeders around the world. The Buckfast bee appears to be well adapted to Freemark Abbey, not sure we need them around here but if inclined I think you can get them from Beeweaver in Taxas. But I woudn't..

Louise

Wayne

Scott's son

Ralph Myer

 I liked the idea of being a beekeeper, I'm just not sure I'd like being an albino.

Richard Avadon

Clay Newton

Dorthea Mcfarland- not sure what she's smilling about, I killed two colonies of her bees. Okay, maybe it wasn't me, but I was there checking them both shortly before they died.

Not really a beekeeper - a bee haver. Civil War soldier beehive.

Pops, brush the bees off and put some cloths on.... PLEASE!

Check out all his keys, he has more keys than I have bees...

Eddie and Bethany

Matt and Neil from a class I tought at the Regenerative Design Institute. I don't think they liked me much because I told one of the students they needed to rethink (bee think) the idea of bees being an avenue for honey. The way I see it honey is a byproduct of healthy bees.

Leah Bettenelli

Michael Lauher with a long long neck, but still working the bees despite his susceptibility.
