About Me:
I am Emily Brown, owner of "AZ Queen Bee-- Bee Removal & Honey Company" here in the Phoenix metro area. I have been beekeeping for over 20 years, am the Resident Beekeeper for the Butterfly Wonderland in Scottsdale as well as the Boulders Resort in Cave Creek. Beekeeping is a fascinating art with constant challenges and consistent learning opportunities. I love to share my knowledge and experience with others in the hopes that they too will develop the "beekeeping bug" and incorporate the amazing hobby into the fabric of their lives.

Hi Emily:
This is a little late being sent to you as the class has already happened. I am so glad a beekeeper is becoming part of this group. Speaking for myself, I hope to learn lots from you.
