Mike is a retired engineer with too much time on his hands and a passion for beekeeping. He has been beekeeping full time for five years and is a member of multiple beekeeping organizations, mentors new beekeepers, and also teaches classes on beekeeping topics to local clubs, pollinator groups, and in public schools.  He is also an Admin on the Beekeeping Hacks Facebook group with over 60K members.

This presentation from the 2023 Bee School will show & demo numerous innovative ways to simplify and improve your beekeeping experience while saving time and money too.  While similar to our December topic ran by Bryan Copeland, we've reviewed Mike's presentation and found it to be unique. See 45 gadgets/hacks in 60 minutes… Bee inspired...  Don’t buy it - build it!
