Panel: Raising Queens and How They Fit into Beekeeper Operations
This panel discussion, led by moderator Andony Melathopoulos, considers how raising our own queens impacts beekeeping operations, whether you are a commercial, sideliner, or hobbyist beekeeper. Panelists will discuss methods used and goals, what works and what doesn’t work. The audience is encouraged to ask questions of the panelists through the moderator.
Matt Hansen is a second-generation commercial beekeeper and co-owner of Foothills Honey Company in Colton, Oregon, along with his brother Joe and parents, George and Sue. He lives in Mulino, Oregon, with his wife Meagan and sons William and Tommy.
