Hello, my name is David Heilman and I am a beekeeper of 40 plus years. I worked for the Ohio State University Honey Bee Lab for 17 years as the Apiarist and Lab Tech. I have also worked for the Ohio State Dept of Agriculture as a Deputy Apiary Inspector for 15 years. I am the Owner of Ohio Honey Farms, which is a full service Beekeeping operation. We run about 350 Hives for Pollination services, Sell Beekeeping equipment, Package bees, Nucs, Queens, Honey, Honeystix, Soaps, Hand Lotions, Lip Balm, Beeswax. As a hobby I collect beekeeping history and have a small museum at the University and have a second smaller one at our business. I am just finishing up building a new bee building for a small store and honey processing facility. I am married to my beautiful Wife Lisa and have five Grand Kids. Another passion of mine is old muscle cars especially Ford Mustangs. I have a 1961 Chevy Greenbriar van, a 1970 Mustang Convertible, and my favorite car a 1970 Boss 302 Mustang. We also are driving a 1947 Ford which belonged to my father in-law. It was drag raced back in the 50's. Was the first closed chassis to do over 100 mph in the 1/5 mile track. Bees and Fords are my passion next to my wife Lisa. Hello Everyone!!!!!
