Farm Name
Bears + Bees
Farm Project Description
My project will start off as a small scale beekeeping venture. Since this will be my first year keeping bees, I plan on starting with a single colony and increasing the number over time.
A portion of my project will also include sharing my failures, successes (and stings) as a former public servant turned beekeeper. After 5 years with the B.C government, I walked out the doors of the office, where I worked as a communications manager, to follow my dream of providing meaningful service to my environment and community.
I hope to inspire others to take a leap of faith and try doing something that brings them joy.
