Cory Stevens comes to us from his 27 acre farm in Bloomfield, Missouri; which he manages for wildlife and pollinator habitat. Cory and his wife Jaime own Stevens Bee Company where they select for mite resistant VSH stock. Cory is a Past President of Missouri State Beekeepers Association. He was certified as a Master Beekeeper by the Eastern Apicultural Society in 2013, and was trained by Sue Cobey in 2014 to instrumentally inseminate queen bees. Cory holds a masters degree in entomology from the University of Nebraska- Lincoln. He always slips bees into random conversation with strangers, and annoys his wife by constantly talking about bees.
