Doug Fieri – Bee Wrangler

Doug became interested in honey bees after watching a PBS special “Silence of the Bees”

As a Small Scale commercial beekeeper since 2005 he works with about 40 colonies of honey bees in Southern California.
Most of these hives are kept in  various apiaries through out the San Gabriel Valley.  
Hives are relocated during the spring to assist growers with pollinating  almonds and cherries.
The honey collected from these hives is county certified and sold at local farmers markets in the San Gabriel Valley.

Doug is a member of the California State Beekeepers Association,the Los Angeles County Beekeepers Association and Treasurer of the
Beekeepers Association of Southern California

The mission of these organizations is to inform and educate the public on the importance of
honey bees, along with providing financial support  for critical research programs.
