Learn more about Dave:
Dave has been working with bees for 25 years, including 10 at the OSU lab and, later, as a beekeeper at a nature center. He started Red Beard Bees — named for his facial hair — in 2020. It now includes 65 colonies, or hives, in the Whitehall suburb of Columbus where he lives, and in other parts of central Ohio.

But the business isn’t just about selling honey. It also involves a lot of education and training for other beekeepers, plus selling bees and queens he has bred. In breeding, he selects for high honey production and gentleness, based on the performance of the hive.

He looks for gentleness because “I go out there in a T-shirt and shorts” rather than wearing a protective suit, he explained
