Maker Faire: Backyard Beekeeping

There was an amazing turnout of over 100 people at my Backyard Beekeeping talk at Maker Faire today! 


My 25 minute presentation covered:


  • Benefits of beekeeping: pollination, honey, wax and other products.
  • Honey bee biology and behavior.
  • Caring for your bees.
  • Beekeeping equipment: what you need to get started.
  • General time, space, and legal requirements.
  • Additional resources to learn about beekeeping


The talk was a high level primer aimed at providing a base level of knowledge about beekeeping and multiple sources for additional information. I got an excellent response from the audience and many compliments from the Maker Faire staff! An absolutely amazing experience!
