John Bard

Beekeeper

John has had a long-time passion for beekeeping but never really had the opportunity to fulfill this dream until 2014, when he was asked to help remove a swarm of honey bees from a local barn. With the help of a mentor, John relocated the bees to his 10 acre, off-the-grid, wild property in Delanson and began refining his craft. John is a nature lover who loves “taking care of my girls” and enjoys beginning his each day with a hot cup of tea (with honey) while spending time with his “girls.”

I love honey and it gives me such happiness to provide honey for other people.” John finds beekeeping and honey making to be very calming and processes his honey by hand.

John can be contacted at Beesofthe10@gmail.com
