She completed PlanetBee’s inaugural “Beekeepers in Education” program, and looks forward to more teaching opportunities with them. She participated in a Hive Dive, and several educational tabling events with PlanetBee. My goal is to teach more students and adults the importance and science of bees in a fun educational format. She is a candidate in UC Davis’ Master Beekeeping program to expand her science based knowledge.
