A little about Kathy Fell:

I am a retired Electrical Engineer, who lives in the woods in Bassett Virginia. I have a large "wildlife habitat" instead of a yard.  I moved here in late 2007. I am a past President and current Vice President of the Southwestern Piedmont Chapter of the Virginia Master Naturalists. I chair the Southern Piedmont region's "Plant Virginia Natives" campaign.

A little about Joe May, DVM:

I have a BS in Biology from Va Tech and I graduated from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine in 1976. I sold my practice in 2011 but still practice part time. I got interested in Honey Bees and Honey Bee Medicine about 5 years ago and I currently have 6 hives in my backyard plus several others in other locations. My wife and I have been married since 1972 and we have 4 children and 9 grandchildren.
