In 1998, when Mike Palmer first attempted to begin wintering nucleus colonies, his main concern… where to get the bees and brood from? That first year was easy. He had an apiary of thirteen colonies that needed to be moved. In July he broke down those colonies into forty nucleus colonies, buying in the necessary queens from a California breeder. All forty nuclei came through our Vermont winter. Was he convinced? Absolutely.
Mike's journey started to develop his famous sustainable beekeeping apiary system.
**About the speaker**
Mike Palmer grew up in New York City and as a child was fascinated by all the plants, insects, and animals all around him. He then went on to study in Vermont where he met and fell in love with his wife Lesley and with the local countryside and he decided to stay. He first started keeping bees in 1974 with varying success. Then in 1998, he decided to change the way he overwintered his bees and he began to concentrate on the quality of his bees and not the quantity. Today Mike raises about 1200 queens a year and manages over 1000 colonies and is widely recognized as a worldwide authority on sustainable beekeeping. He has built up French Hill apiaries into the successful farm that it is today.
