Our speaker will be Michael Bush, talking about Francis (François) Huber. Huber was the 1814 author of the seminal book Huber’s New Observations on Bees, which laid the groundwork for all the practical knowledge we have of bees today. His discoveries were so revolutionary that beekeeping can be divided in two eras: pre-Huber and post-Huber.

Michael Bush is the author of the books The Practical Beekeeper, The Practical Queen Breeder, and more. He shares his extensive knowledge on his website The Practical Beekeeper.
