Bees and Beyond

Danny Terhaar, age 45, has been an organic beekeeper for two years. He's responsible for nearly 50 hives spread over several locations from Carpinteria up to Thousand Oaks. Recently, he started up Bees and Beyond – his own bee rescue company.

Bees and Beyond offers humane swarm removal services to areas around Ventura county. Rather than exterminating the hive, Terhaar relocates the bees to a new home in his yard or with other local beekeepers.

A Day as an MC
