The Wonderful World of Bees

David Marder

David Marder was eleven years old when a swarm of bees landed in a tree in his neighbor’s yard. Having just seen a beekeeper days earlier on Sesame Street, David decided to catch the swarm himself. He ran into the garage and returned moments later clad in his dad’s motorcycle helmet, gardening gloves and windbreaker carrying a garden hoe. He set a box on the ground, whacked the branch with the garden hoe, and lo and behold, the bees all flew straight into the box. For his 12th birthday he received a bee book and some proper beekeeping equipment. Over the next 30 years, David traveled the world chasing and learning about honeybees. Currently David operates approximately 200 hives in the canyon areas surrounding Orange County and is the President of the Orange County Beekeepers Association. He has also owned and operated a bee removal service, Bee Busters, Inc., for almost 30 years.
