Your Instructor
Melissa May(daughter) and Therese Danzl(mom)
We are a mother/daughter beekeeping team and have a combined experience of 30+ years of keeping bees. Therese's experience began within a commercial beekeeping environment and has shifted towards a smaller scale approach when Melissa joined her in 2016. This smaller scale approach allows the space and time to slow down and enjoy the process fully. We are continuously working towards more bee-centric practices and strive to learn more every year. The growing and deepening connection with the bees and the land is the most rewarding part of bee guardianship and any sweet golden elixir the bees share is a bonus!
