May 2, 2024 - BAC May Meeting: Special Guest Natalee Summers
Natalee Summers! She will be speaking on the subject of splits and resource hives. Natalee is a 16 year old beekeeper from NW Missouri. Her journey began in 2017, when her family started their apiary & business, known as Hitch Hive Honey. As the business grew, so did Natalee's fascination with the intricate world of bees. She started a YouTube channel with the help of her parents, in 2020, called “Beekeeping with Natalee.” Natalee really enjoys grafting queens, which has led to nearly 1000 grafts in the last few years. Undeterred by her age, Natalee has set ambitious milestones for herself, including almond pollination in CA and completing the Master Beekeeping program from the University of Florida. She is excited to see where her passion for bees takes
