Hive House
presented by Joel Lantz
Hive House
Did you ever wonder what it would be like to be inside of a bee hive-or at least close to it? Come join us to learn about the wonders of a Hive House. What is this stingless form of apitherapy, how does it work, and where does it come from? A look at the only known and one of a kind of its type in the United States.
Joel Lantz is from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan near the town of Marquette. He is the founder of the Superior Beekeeping Club, and former Michigan Beekeeper’s Association’s UP representative. Although retired from the world of everyday work, he continues to follow his passion for education by spending his time raising, learning, and teaching all things bee. When not immersed in this 35 year pursuit, he spends time in the woods, makes rustic furniture, and chases his grandkids—the next generation of beekeepers.
