When I was much younger, an elderly friend from church showed me a beehive he had in his backyard. I was fascinated and instantly wanted to start beekeeping. I was in the military at the time, which made beekeeping impossible. Fifteen years went by before I retired; I made a few twists and turns in life for another fifteen years. Finally, I returned home with my wife and son to the small city of Mason Michigan. We bought an old house, settled in, and the though of beekeeping returned. After 35 years, I became a beekeeper and the owner of Urban Wild Honey.
