E’Angela Bio:

“I’ve been keeping bees for a little over 5 years now. My journey as a beekeeper started when I found a swarm on my property. It was love at first sight! I’m very passionate about encouraging and planting for all pollinators, not just honeybees. I’m currently in the OSU Master Beekeeper Program. I’ve achieved my Getting Started, Apprentice, and Mentor certificates and I’m currently working on my Journey Certification.”
