In this episode of Mother Earth News and Friends, Charlotte French and Zach Foley discuss catching swarms and the business of bees with Hilary Kearney of Girl Next Door Honey.
Hilary Kearney is a full-time beekeeper in her hometown of San Diego, California. Her business Girl Next Door Honey provides educational opportunities for hundreds of new beekeepers each year. Her beekeeping exploits and unique business model have inspired people all around the world. She writes for Keeping Backyard Bees and authors the beekeeping blog Beekeeping Like a Girl and maintains a popular Instagram account. When she’s not rescuing bees, teaching about bees, photographing bees or managing one of her ninety colonies… she’s sleeping and dreaming of bees.
