Theresa Martin is the author of Dead Bees Don’t Make Honey: 10 Tips for Healthy Productive Bees, which includes a Foreword by Dr. Thomas Seeley.

Theresa has achieved 99% colony survival and honey production that is twice the local average in her seven years as a beekeeper, with 20–25 colonies in Kentucky. She practices nature-based beekeeping, which is a methodology that places bee health as the highest priority and optimal pathway to productivity. Following the model of how bees survive in the wild, employing integrated pest management, and providing high support yet low intervention, she demonstrates that healthy, alive bees are more productive than sick or dead bees.

Theresa is a Cornell Master Beekeeper, 2024 Kentucky State Beekeeper of the Year, and President of the Kentucky State Beekeepers Association. She is also a writer for Bee Culture Magazine. She worked at Fidelity Investments and Procter & Gamble in information technology and operations management. Theresa can be reached at theresa@littlewolf.farm

Theresa will be available to autograph copies of her book which will be available for purchase at the meeting for $18.
