The next PWRBA meeting is sure to be entertaining as much as it is educational. Allen is known throughout the East Coast as THE gadget guy. He will bring in dozens of his home made inventions. Feel free to bring in a few of your own to share with him afterwards.
A little about him- Allen Hayes became an instant beekeeper in 1971 when a family friend gave him a hive. They soon swarmed and freaked out not only his parents but also a not to friendly neighbor. Marriage and kids interrupted his beekeeping for a number of years but when he got back to it he quickly became Certifiably Bee Crazy. Always one to make or fix things, beekeeping fit in well with his mechanical ability. Known to many as “The Gadget Guy” he has created numerous unique items relating to beekeeping and he enjoys sharing those creations with others. Allen is probably best known in the Northeast for his talk ”Gadgets You Could Keep Bees Without, But Won’t Want To”.
He is an EAS certified Master Beekeeper who has taught beekeeping classes for over ten years. A lifelong resident of Central Maryland, he is an active member of two local bee clubs and is a county Vice President for the Maryland State Beekeepers Association. He has also served on the EAS Board of Directors as the Director from Maryland.
