Backyard Beekeeping: The Joys and the Struggles
Drawn from his own experience of starting with a single hive in a townhome backyard, to mentoring new beekeepers (while managing over a hundred hives), Robert will share about the joys and struggles of keeping bees.
There are few things in nature as awe inspiring as standing in the midst of a swarm of bees. Alternatively, there are few things as discouraging as opening a hive with high yield expectations, only to find your bees lifeless on the bottom board. What can new or aspiring beekeepers expect in their first few years? Robert will share stories and insights from his own beekeeping journey.
Jevan Robert Ballantyne is a beekeeper, flower farmer and contractor based out of Mono, Ontario. He enjoys time spent outdoors with his wife Anna, their three children, and their dog. Gardening, fishing, hunting, hiking or boiling fresh maple sap are a few of his favorite things. Follow along at https://www.youtube.com/@abeeforallseasons.
