Ray - Honey Top Bees
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 24 พ.ค. 2023
My name is Ray! I first learned about bees as a boy in Vermont with my Dad. Later in life I started my personal venture, and now I live in SC where I keep bees, teach bee classes, sell honey, and get stung!
Beekeeping has been a fascinating journey. Every day with these buzzing creatures is a new adventure. So I hope you'll enjoy watching my videos and maybe even be inspired to start beekeeping. Beekeeping is more than managing honey-making stinging insects, it's wonderful way to connect with people and share the journey of life.
I'm in the University of FL Master Beekeeping Program, to finish in 2025. My videos are based on my experience keeping bees in the southeast region of USA. My channel is about sharing my journey of ups and downs as I continue to learn. The joy in beekeeping is in the journey, with all the trials and mistakes.
The name HONEY TOP BEES comes from my childhood family farm name
