In 2018 I began keeping bees at Burnt Hill with more enthusiasm than skill, learning quickly how humbling beekeeping can be. Over time the apiary grew, then nearly disappeared during my cancer treatments, leaving only one resilient hive that survived three years without care. With my health restored, I partnered with master beekeeper Colie Huff to revive the apiary. Together we are rebuilding, producing pure wildflower honey, and weaving bees back into the heart of Burnt Hill’s regenerative farm.
