A follow on to Olivia Menard’s introductory talk “A Year in the Beeyard”, this talk will go through a seasoned beekeeper’s calendar of events. Olivia will share more advanced strategies for timing different Integrated Pest Management actions, and setting up for queen rearing success throughout her typical year in the beeyard.
Olivia Menard is a UGA Master Beekeeper in Lawrenceville, GA. An Aerospace Engineer by trade, Olivia began keeping bees to practice mindfulness. Bees have since become an integral part of Olivia’s path toward learning about where our food comes from and looking for ways to make her food more local and sustainable.

She is a member of Beekeepers Club of Gwinnett, Eastern Piedmont Beekeepers Association in Athens-Clarke County, and Tri-County Beekeepers club in Banks County.
