For Tom Kier beekeeping is a great prescription for retirement!

Hear his bee talk Wednesday afternoon at the Ada Public Library
Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, April 15, 2019

By Barb Lockhard
When Tom Kier retired in 2016, he had a few things on his bucket list.  The former associate dean of ONU’s College of Pharmacy wanted to see the Masters Golf Tournament (which he did this year) and also pursue an interest in beekeeping.

“Bees are fascinating creatures, said Kier, but then I’ve always been sort of a science geek.” 

Now starting his third summer tending honey bees, he will share his knowledge with aspiring beekeepers in a presentation set for Wednesday, April 17, 3:30 p.m. at the Ada Public Library.  It’s Beekeeping 101 and he’ll bring some equipment so the audience will get a hands-on experience.
