February

Thursday February 2, 2023 - Our speaker is Charlie Koenan from BeeVangelists, Milwaukee, WI.

A Milwaukee-native, Charlie “Charbee” Koenen is a serial entrepreneur, consummate teacher, and the Executive Director of BeeVangelists, a non-profit organization bringing a bee-centric vision regarding the plight of bees and the need to restore thriving communities in urban environments and beyond.

In 2009, Charlie turned conventional beekeeping on its side (literally) inventing the first Vented Top Bar Hive System, an alternative to the stacked box hive suited for urban beekeeping, and founded the company Beepods. 

Since founding BeeVangelists in 2016, Charlie has served to educate the public about beekeeping and advocate for bees establishing Community Support Pollinators (CSPs) programs and working with private institutions to install and care for urban apiaries. Bringing communities together, these apiaries can now be found in school campuses, church rooftops, retirement homes, golf courses, ecology centers, and numerous backyards throughout the Milwaukee area.

The meeting is at State Bank of the Lakes, 50 Commerce Drive, Grayslake IL 60030.

Informal questions and discussions at 6:30, Formal meeting at 7PM.
