Rick Olson is an automation engineer who came to beekeeping fourteen years ago as a way to relax from traveling back and forth from the North Slope in Alaska. He started with one hive and currently has twenty, but still enjoys the hobby and continuing to learn and improve his beekeeping skills. He is a Journey beekeeper level student in the Oregon Master Beekeeper Program and enjoys connecting with beekeepers from around the country and around the world. Rick is one of our 2021 Conference Moderators
