2025 Workshop

 Mary has been fascinated by Honeybees since attended her first beekeeping course in 1999. She is past president of both the Massachusetts Beekeepers Association and the Eastern Apicultural Society (EAS) and an EAS Master Beekeeper. She maintains between 10-15 colonies of her own each year.   When not busy attending to her colonies, she enjoys sharing the many health benefits of bee hive products with the public.

 Amy is founder and beekeeper at Musante Farm Apiaries and Bee Removal Services and a Cornell University Master Beekeeper.  She is a broadly-trained biologist with expertise in ecology, animal behavior, and evolutionary biology.   For the past decade Amy has focused her studies on Honey Bees.   Amy is also an expert at rescuing unwanted honey bee colonies from buildings, and ensuring they thrive once relocated to her farm!
