Michael Valencia of the Madera FFA Chapter in Madera, California grew up around the apiary industry and was the proud owner of 15 hives before he was a freshman in high school. Today, he has 115 hives and offers pollination services to local agriculturalists.
Valencia hopes to continue growing his business and use it as a supplementary
income to his future career as an educator. He is supported by his father Emilio and his FFA advisor Brent George. This award is sponsored by TransCanada
