Certifications

What make me the highest certified beekeeper in Georgia?

Over the years I have held several position within local, state, and regional beekeeping associations. In addition, in 2006 I became the first (and currently only) beekeeper in Georgia to reach the highest certification level,
Master Craftsman Beekeeper.

If you want to learn more about my certifications and the Master Beekeeper program you can visit the University of Georgia Honey Bee Program.

Looking at the list below 2007 & 2008 seems to be a slow years. However, I have spent a great deal of time working on my first book on Bee Removal. It should be complete and published sometime in 2009.
