Shannon La Grave is an experienced beekeeper in Collin County Texas. She is currently working on her fourth level of the Texas Master Beekeeper Program. Her field of specialization is in pollinator habitat and bee friendly plants. Shannon has been keeping bees for 16 years and began her journey as a scholarship student in Collin County. She served in the Honey Queen program for four years, both at the county and state levels. To this day, she maintains a profound enjoyment of both bees and education tied to that subject.
Her presentation will be on “Bee Anatomy”, a seemingly practical topic that will reacquaint you with the mystery of the bee’s functional and amazing anatomical composition.
