Speaker: Mike and Allison Blankenship ,
Beekeepers, Preston MD
Mike Blankenship and his wife Allison are Beekeepers on Newton Rd. In Preston, Md. 3-B’s Honey is named for their three kids who are age 3,6 & 7! Mike and Allison have been Beekeeping since 2018. They started with (3) hives and now 4-yrs. later they have (32) full size hives and (35) Nucs, (a half hive that will grow into a full size hive next year). Mike and Allison enjoy keeping bees and watching as the colonies thrive and grow. They both work in healthcare for their “Real Jobs”, and the Bees keep them very busy on their days off. April thru October they are busy with the hives every week. In the fall and winter it’s less busy with actual hands on Bee-time and more equipment preparation time. They enjoy Beekeeping, honey processing, plus teaching interested people about Bees! Mike and Allison do all of their own honey extraction, bottling, candle making, lip balm and other products made from their Beeswax! Mike and Allison are passionate to meet and connect with their customers.
