My Bee Buddy

Posted on May 28, 2015 Updated on May 28, 2015

I want to share my deepest gratitude and respect for Jen Rasmussen at Paradise Nectar Apiaries.  She is truly the bee whisperer, my mentor, and my friend.  Without her guidance, I am not sure I would have persevered as a beekeeper.  Her calming presence and intuitive reasoning around the bees is an inspiration and a joy to watch.  Not only does she have 70+ beehives on the Big Island and two of the cutest and most energetic kids I have ever met, she still somehow manages to make time for me when my bees are in need of some extra attention and care.  She has just published a book and I would encourage anyone interested in beekeeping to buy her book, check out her website, her youtube videos, and share with me in appreciating Jen for all she does for me and the bees!
