Beekeeping has become more than just a hobby—it’s a passion that has shaped my life in ways I never imagined. It all started with a simple email announcing my school's new beekeeping club. Eager to try something new, I jumped at the opportunity, and I’m forever grateful that I did. Since then, I’ve grown from a curious beginner to the president of my school’s beekeeping club, an active member of my county’s beekeeping association, and even a spokesperson at the state level advocating for bee conservation. The opportunities that have come my way since joining have been nothing short of incredible, and they continue to shape who I am today.
