President
Matt Bordelon
Matt was born in the swamps of South Louisiana before there was an internet, and fortunately, before YouTube. After growing up raising alligators and other swamp creatures, he sought a better understanding of the world, gradually learning to read, write and cook, but not necessarily in that order. Matt began beekeeping a few years ago, finding honeybees much more sociable than the ground bees, hornets and wasps that he have previously encountered, usually by accident. Although new to beekeeping, Matt enjoys catching swarms, extracting honey, and learning from the old timers.
