Title: Greetings from Waukee, Iowa
Post by: rgrbecvar on August 06, 2014, 11:27:02 AM
Hi My name is Jeff and have been a beekeeper for 20 years and very recently found out about this website by watching JP the Beeman videos on Youtube. So I thought I'd check in. I'm a Master Beekeeper certified through the program from the University of Nebraska with Dr Marion Ellis. I've provided vegetable pollination services in the State of Kansas and Apple Pollination in Iowa. I've run as many as 350 hives and am currently only running 33 hives. A lot of my hives were wiped out because of poor insecticide application practices here in Iowa.  I do provide Bee removal and relocation services in Iowa and have been doing it for quite a while and not sure how many years I've been doing it. This year has been a good year removing hives out of houses and trees in peoples yards. I look forward to being part of this group.
