Speaker: Kent Williams.  
Mr. Kent Williams has been keeping bees for more than 30 years.  His farm has between 800-1200 hives at the height of the season; produces nucs for sale as well as renting colonies for pollination of almonds (California) and melons (Kentucky); produces honey in south MS and West KY and wholesale bottled, bucketed and drum honey in West KY; and produces queens for their use, selling the overflow.

From Kent: We have a beekeepers school on our farm each year, three days, all hands-on in live colonies. Topics range from very basic to advanced. The school is free with a very good meal served each day. Everyone is welcome, no registration, just show up. We also have groups come to the farm throughout the summer to practice specific management, just call to make sure we're home.
