Featured Beekeeper of the Month

This month our featured beekeeper is Levi Price. His parents are Lariea and Aaron Price. Levi has two sisters and he and his family live on a small acreage near Winterset. They raise a few chickens and turkeys and enjoy the out of doors.

 

Levi is one of the 2008 Iowa Honey Producers Mentor participants under the capable guidance of Pat Randol. He is 13 years old, attends Winterset Junior High School and is in the 8th grade. Cross-country, band, chorus, basketball and this spring track are his extracurricular activities.

 

Levi says he started beekeeping because he thought it would be a fun thing to do and he could harvest the honey to eat and maybe even sell some next year. The name of his business is B2.

 

He says learning to keep bees has been a wonderful experience and it also provides a little honey for his family. He likes watching the bees work. In the future he plans to have about five hives.

 

Thanks for your story Levi.
