Michael is a beekeeper’s beekeeper, and his deep understanding of the art and science of keeping bees–as well as his generosity of spirit–makes him an invaluable resource to beekeepers in Whatcom County. He is particularly good at helping beginners move just a tad faster along the learning curve by explaining core concepts in an accessible way. Michael’s thorough and thoughtful advice helped us weather our first season as beekeepers, and I look forward to learning more from him as we–hopefully!–advance in our skills as beekeepers. I would highly recommend his services to all area beekeepers of any skill level.
