Mary Cash:
"Now that is a definite smirk if I ever did see one! One of my girls "got me" on my cheek just under my right eye as I was walking down to the apiary to start my day's work.
I immediately scraped out the stinger and reveled in the dawn of a new day. My immune system gets a definite jump start from a honey bee sting."

Mary Cash - Beekeeper
Mary Cash, is a Master Beekeeper who runs a hands-on teaching apiary demonstrating bee colony management. She uses the langstroth hive bodies with continual splitting of colonies to go from 2 small nucs to keeping 100+ colonies and selling over 60 nucs annually. She was able to do this with only purchasing 10 additional queens in the first three years of managing her apiary and now rearing her own survival stock.
Mary first became an Apprentice beekeeper, then a Journeyman beekeeper and is now a Master beekeeper. Her repertoire includes doing colony consultations, setting up apiaries and mating yards, assembling an assortment of beekeeping equipment including frames and hive bodies. She especially enjoys helping others learn about the ins and outs of our Amazing honey bees.
