Bee Friends
This slideshow is from February 2008, when I joined my brother Tibor P Szabo and colleague and friend Dan Douma to experience beekeeping in Chile. We were guests of Francisco Rey who owns and runs Pacific Queens, Sociedad Comercial Rey, and the www.apicultura.cl website. We also visited with Italo Terrezza and his family. Both Francisco and Italo are excellent beekeepers from a very beautiful part of the world.
During my short stay we spent several afternoons queen catching with Francisco’s team of beekeepers near Limache. Tibor and Dan spent the entire season working and visiting in Chile (Tibor’s second full season in Chile and Dan’s first). We were also fortunate to meet a beekeeper named Augustine and to learn about setting up an apiary for wheelchair use and accessible beekeeping.
