Beekeeping

About my practice:

In 2017, I became a certified beekeeper under the Mecklenburg County Beekeepers Association. Since then my practice has spread from Charlotte, North Carolina to Chicago, Denver, Colorado, Union County, NC, and Atlanta, GA.

Working at the institutional and community level, I provide sustainable operations and additional support through monitoring health and productivity of honeybees.
