What do you like about this subject? We perform some nonprofit beekeeping services, but most of our time is spent removing bees that are in the wrong places. I especially like how bees’ work so well together making honey resulting the pollination process our food source. I enjoy the opportunities related to working with beekeepers and honeybees.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? My interests are in providing jobs for students, elevate and educate the bee removal industry, and save bees that would otherwise bee exterminated in the US.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Though others may know this, its very cool that honey bees provide more pollination for food than any other insect, an estimated 1/3rd of our food source, and that they are the only insect on earth that provide food for humans.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject A fairly controversial topic in the industry which I've written more, relating to this topic is that of the africanized bees and honeybee removal. In a few short paragraphs it covers the history of bee removal in the lower United States, the Africanized bee propaganda, and the general public new overall perception.
