Michelle Boerst & Rebecca Vaughn

Starting as a scholarship recipient with Collin County Beekeepers Association, Michelle went on to help found the Denton Co. Beekeepers Association in 2015 and become the only Texas Master Craftsman Beekeeper in 2022. She runs a swarm removal service, teaches beekeeping classes at UT Arlington, and is also pursuing a Master’s degree in Entomology at the University of Florida.

Rebecca is the owner of Eastside Honey Bee Management and an Advanced Master Beekeeper. Her favorite place to be is in her bee yards, and she loves volunteering and exploring new research opportunities that will expand our knowledge about beekeeping.

Michelle and Rebecca will be speaking to us podcast-style on a surprise topic. Both ladies are a wealth of beekeeping knowledge, and we're really looking forward to what the two together can teach us. We can’t wait to hear what they’re planning for our meeting!
