Beekeeper, biologist, and builder. PhD in Biology meets 15+ years of software engineering. I help bees thrive through science-backed practices while crafting software that solve real problems. Currently building Hive Notes for beekeepers.
Varroa
Varroa destructor is the most damaging parasite of the Western honey bee. Modern research reveals why this mite is so destructive, how it weakens colonies through feeding and viral spread, and which strategies offer the best chance of long-term control.
Inspections
Fall is the most critical inspection season in beekeeping. Unlike spring and summer, where you're managing growth, fall is about assessment and preparation. The decisions you make during these inspections directly determine which hives thrive come spring and which won't make it through winter.
Nutrition
Bee colony health depends on balanced nutrition, not just quantity. Learn what bees eat to thrive, including optimal protein levels, omega ratios, and essential sterols that determine winter survival.
