Mike has been a beekeeper for 25+years. As an active sideline beekeeper withover 100 colonies, Michael’s knowledge has been acquired by doing hands on work with the bees, including swarm
collecting and removals, research, networking and attending numerous local & regional seminars.
Several years ago after attending a Larry Connors queen rearing course in Detroit, he began rearing quality queens and nucs. Recently he earned his Kentucky Queen Breeders Certificate. In the last 15 years he has obtained breeder queens from various locations throughout the United States.
Michael is passionate about helping others in their quest for sustainable beekeeping, by providing support, encouragement and education, as well as being a source for quality locally bred queens and nucs.
