| Paul was introduced to beekeeping in 1981 when he got his first hive. Four years later he was grafting his own queens. His facination with the different flavors of honey led to the start-up of his family business, The Mountain State Honey Company. Around that same time he joined the WVDA as an Apiary Inspector. In 1994 he completed his work on the Master Beekeeper Program. In 2000 Paul was instrumental in the start up of the WV Queen Program. | ||||

| George could
say beekeeping runs in the family. His Great Great Grandfather,
Andrew Ware, a beekeeper came to a part of Braxton Co. in 1891
which later would become Webster Co. In 2000 George and his family
moved back to Webster Co. to eventually care for 125 hives and
open a greenhouse. George has taught Short courses at Glenville State College and Mountain State College at the Summersville Campus. He has also presented programs at
EAS. Since joining the WVDA in 2000 George has done much to promote beekeeping in WV and WV beekeeping throughout
the country. |
