Chuck Dailey is always looking for solutions. After retiring from his engineering job at Rolls-Royce, he found a problem to solve in his church’s community garden — there were no pollinators.
Dailey spent the next year researching and studying to become a master beekeeper and now teaches what he has learned to spread the importance of beekeeping and bees in general.
Many camps come to the Harvest House at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church where Dailey has built a bee apiary and is in the process of expanding.
For Dailey, it’s not just about having the bees and harvesting the honey, but educating the next generation. In addition to working with children, Dailey also leads classes for adults to become beekeepers.
“This is why I do this,” Dailey Said. “We may produce honey and pollinate our gardens, but our main objective is education.”
