Main Topic:

Landi Simone will be presenting "Product of the Hive"

"Ever want to try your hand at making creamed honey? Propolis Extract? Did a friend tell you they recently tried some beeswax hand cream and it’s the best stuff ever for dry skin? Landi’s been making “bee stuff” for nearly three decades and is happy to share her experience and get you started on the road to developing your own amazing hive products!"

Landi Simone has been keeping bees for 27 years.  She has been an EAS Certified Master Beekeeper since 2004, and has served as Master Beekeeper Director and, for ten years, as Chair of the Master Beekeeper Certification Committee.  Landi owns Gooserock Farm in northern NJ, and makes her living from about 100 colonies of bees. She raises queens and sells overwintered nucs, produces varietal honeys and beeswax cosmetics and soaps. Landi’s practical approach to beekeeping stems from her life before bees; she’s a retired consulting engineer with degrees from Columbia and Rutgers.
