Tara Chapman

Two Hives Honey

www.twohiveshoney.com

A native Texan, Tara Chapman got her start working for the Central Intelligence Agency and spent the next 10 years working for the federal government, traveling and working in Afghanistan and Pakistan. After a fateful beekeeping class in 2014, Tara was inspired to quit her government job to work for a beekeeper in East Texas. Two Hives Honey was founded in 2015 as a honey company and has since evolved into a beekeeping education company. Tara and her team offer beekeeping classes, equipment, hive tours, unique bee experiences and events, and honey classes at their Honey Ranch outside of Austin, TX.

Tara is speaking in Texas and Pennsylvania.
