Guest Speaker - Becky Barajas

We’re excited to welcome back Becky Barajas as our guest speaker. Becky has been keeping bees for

12 years and has held a variety of roles within the beekeeping industry. She’ll be sharing insights on how

commercial beekeepers keep their operations buzzing—and how that compares to the way most of us

manage our hives. From unique challenges to valuable opportunities and everything in between, Becky will

take us through it all, frame by frame. She also has a fun surprise in store, so be sure to mark your calendars!​​​
