Author Biography

 

Kim Flottum (d. 2023) brought a rich background of plant science, honey bee research, and basic farming to his 30 years as the editor of Bee Culture magazine, where his main occupation was finding the answers to the multitude of questions that beginning, intermediate, and even advanced and experienced beekeepers bring to the table. He taught beginning and advanced beekeeping courses, traveled extensively to educate and lecture, and contributed to a variety of other publications on the basics of honey bees and beekeeping biology, the business of bees and pollination, producing and using varietal honeys, and a host of other subjects. He was the author of The Backyard Beekeeper, First Time Beekeeping, In Business with Bees, and Common Sense Natural Beekeeping. His books, magazine articles, interviews, and blogs are widely read for both their fundamental and advanced contribution to beekeeping knowledge. He was beekeeping's leading advocate for fundamental honey bee safety, including ensuring excellent honey bee health, providing extraordinary forage, and minimizing the use of agricultural pesticides.

Small Skices
Size: 14 Ounce (Pack of 1)
The sweet potatoes are my dog!s favorite treat.They smell delicious and she loves chewing them. I always order the full slices because she is a standard Golden Doodle weighing 70 lbs. The slices are usually large. This last batch was very disappointing. The slices were much smaller than usual. I’m concerned about the quality control and hope it doesn’t happen again.

Best dog snack around.
These are my dog’s favorite snacks in the world. They are fresh, healthy, and the dog thinks she’s getting a naughty snack because they’re sweet! 😆
