There is much to lament in the honeybee world these days: poisons, parasites, disease and flood damage. In this talk, Don Studinski, Colorado State Beekeeper Association Pesticide Committee Chair, will specifically avoid the depressing stuff. This talk is intended to lightheartedly look into the world of honeybees with a little education and a few laughs. It's just intended to be fun.
That said, if the audience really wants to focus on the frightening stuff, there is plenty, and he will gladly answer their questions.
Don Studinski, dba Honeybee Keep, is a principal permaculture enthusiast at Living Systems Institute (LSI) where he applies permaculture philosophy to beekeeping. Apiaries under Don's management are located from Golden to Erie, spanning about 50 miles. Honeybee Keep manages Colorado's first Certified Naturally Grown apiaries. Don's beekeeping articles have been published in Bee Culture magazine and on-line at Honeybee Haven, Peak Prosperity and Pesticide Action Network. As a beekeeping mentor, Don provides advice and counsel for students throughout the United States. Colorado Bees for Colorado Beekeepers is his latest project which will provide nucleus colonies for sale.

Don has a BS in Computer Science and an MS in Computer Information Systems. He spent his computer career working for IBM, StorageTek, and McKesson as a programmer, manager and director. He has also owned and operated his own t-shirt and embroidery business. Today, Don spends his time as a beekeeper, mentor and community building activist. He removes bees and wasps from structures, collects swarms, sells honey, performs public speaking, provides honey extraction and beekeeping consulting.
