ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Greg is a hobby beekeeper who has an interest in ergonomic hives for both bees and beekeepers with an emphasis on construction and management.  He began working with bees at the age of 7, helping his Dad with the family bee hives.   His hands-on education lasted until he went away to college - taking a very long break to do other things.  About 7 years ago, he happened upon the website horizontalhive.com by Leo Sharashkin and became hooked again.  He does not own a single Langstroth hive.
