On this week’s episode of The Rural Woman Podcast you’ll meet Laryssa Kwoczak. Laryssa began keeping bees as a hobby in Philadelphia 10 years ago. She caught “bee fever” almost immediately and just a few years later moved across the country to take a job at an apiary in Hawaii. For the next 5 years, she worked for a commercial apiary caring for bees and educating visitors at their beekeeping museum. She then started her own bee farm, Bee Happy, where she sold comb honey to chefs and resorts in Hawaii. Her newest project is Beekeeping Made Simple, an online beekeeping education website where Laryssa turned her in-person beekeeping classes into video lessons so that people can learn beekeeping from home. The goal of Beekeeping Made Simple is to take away the overwhelm and confusion many beginner beekeepers have and make beekeeping fun again!
