Cal Hardage, an amateur beekeeper with a few hives nestled in his backyard, has a lifelong fascination with bees. One of his earliest memories is watching from the seat of the pickup as his Dad tended his own hives—a sight that sparked a lasting interest in beekeeping. Over the years, Cal has continued as a hobbyist beekeeper, returning to the craft time and again. Now, through Apiary Chronicles, he’s on a mission to share the stories and journeys of fellow beekeepers, hoping to inspire more people to experience the joys and rewards of keeping bees themselves.
