Michael Leach found a passion for bees in 2009 when he started building beehives for other beekeepers, and he was hooked. Four years later he decided he wanted to share that passion with others, and he started Bee Friends Farms. A jack of all trades, Michael brings his carpentry and organizational skills to work every day. A big believer in community engagement, Michael is heavily involved with the Jacksonville Beekeeping Association where he leads a hands-on mentoring program for new beekeepers. Currently, he manages the bees for the Ritz Carlton Amelia Island where he provides honey bee presentations and honey sampling for group events. The health of his bees comes first and Michael is always looking for ways to strengthen the health of the hives he manages. While beekeeping isn’t always easy, it is always rewarding and he wouldn’t trade it for any one of his previous professions.
