July 23: Joe Bastin
By Rotary Club of Indianapolis on July 18, 2024
| Join us Tuesday to hear from Joe Bastin the President of Bastin Honey Bee Farm. Joe graduated from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology with an engineering degree. After graduating he went on to work at an industrial construction company and beekeeping became a hobby. He turned his hobby into a career and now works with 75 million bees. Joe has taken his desire to improve bee populations and help others who do the same to a profitable business. He has grown to the largest bee keeping supply retail store in the state. Through this store, he enjoys helping others get into bee keeping with equipment for extracting honey, tools and protective gear. The store also sells small colonies of bees for those wishing to start. Joe will share his background and current business to help educate us on the status of bees and their importance to agriculture and the environment. All are welcome at Rotary programs.
