About the Speaker, Greg Kruel: I am a graphic designer and web developer turned beekeeper. While my beekeeping journey has been exciting and fun, it was also frustrating at times. Not knowing what to do in the beginning when things went wrong, making mistakes that decimated entire hives, and accidentally killing a queen while marking her (yes I actually did this, and was furious with myself). My passion for bees extends to educating others so they don’t feel alone in their beekeeping journey and can learn from my mistakes.
