Trustee
Jim Heiligenberg
I'm an engineer who raised five boys and now it's all about the bees---my girls. As a new"bee" to this fascinating hobby, it's amazing how, in just a year, I'm already rambling on and on to anyone who'll listen (or so my wife tells me). I've enjoyed building both horizontal and vertical hives. I look forward to sharing my knowledge as I learn.
Suggested Reading
Books, magazines, journals, and articles on beekeeping which are informational, thought-provoking, and heart warming.
