Who is Gramps?

I am Gramps — a backyard beekeeper in Brazoria County, Texas. I started raising bees as a way to get outside, learn something real with my hands, and share that curiosity with neighbors.

Gramps Bees is my public notebook: what works on the Gulf Coast, what fails in humidity and heat, and what I am still figuring out.
