Beeing2gether, a local business that focuses on raising honeybees, is the brainchild of Keith Griffin III, a Louisville teen who started the business with his uncle and mother. The 15-year-old was creating quite a buzz during the Engage Lead Serve Board’s “Bee Green” event, in which he demonstrated his knowledge of beekeeping and environmental awareness.
For example, depending on how busy the bees are, a sugar spray or burlap-fueled smokers are used to check for varroa mites on the drones in the colony. Beeswax is regularly used for purifying air, too.
