Amanda Johnson is a Florida native with a deep passion for nature.

Beekept Apiaries arose to fill a need for humane honey bee relocation in the community. In service of this goal, she has become a board member for the Heartland Beekeepers Association and a state representative for Hives for Heroes. Through mentorship and training, she is working to grow not only the number of locally kept colonies, but beekeepers, as well.

The foundation of this business is her love for learning. She continues to seek accreditations within the beekeeping industry and participate in citizen science initiatives to better understand pollinator wellness. She aims to be a source of quality education and resources amidst her peers.

She is grateful for the opportunity to be an environmental steward, and is happy to help honey bees however she can.
