Edward has managed the Junior Beekeeping program for MABA and always goes above and beyond the call. The program remains hugely successful and he has introduced bees to many young people. In addition to his usual willingness to help, he also was instrumental in the rescue of the bees at the Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson airport where he managed the tragedy of dead and dying bees and helped many beekeepers who came to try to help as well.
The MABA beekeeper of the year is someone who has not only demonstrated and promoted good beekeeping, but who also has served the Metro Atlanta Beekeepers Association as an outstanding volunteer. To nominate someone for this year’s award, fill out this form by September 1. The award will be given at the September Picnic and Honey Show.
