Hello. I am a treatment free beekeeper and avid gardener. I run a nonprofit that does three things
- Provide new beekeepers with equipment, bees, and education to get them into keeping bees with no cost
- Funding and creating pollinator gardens
- Purchasing land and converting it to pollinator habitat.
When I am not keeping bees I manage a 500 tree (and growing) orchard and organic farm. We grow apples, peaches, nectarines, apricots, plums, pluots, pears, cherries, blueberries, rasberries, black berries, garlic, and a ton of vegetables. This year I am starting to produce 6 different types of mushrooms in addition to the wild mushrooms I forage.
I'm also a hunter and conservationist. I've been a bow hunter for a while but got hooked on waterfowl about 7 years ago. Since then I haven't really killed much besides ducks and geese. I live to fish when it isn't hunting season.
I first got into crypto in late 2009/early 2010. I've got a flash drive with a few thousand BTC on it, but I've moved 6 times and haven't managed to find it. Every time I find a thumb drive in a drawer I plug it in thinking I'll be rich... Seeing as I have less than $100 invested in them I try not to lose much sleep over it. I'm really not interested in crypto, but am hoping this is a great alternative time sink for my online time.
Other hobbies I have are stamp collecting, mead and wine making, wood carving, and rebuilding carburetors.
