Nathan Stewart of the East Clinton FFA Chapter in Leesburg, Ohio, owns and operates his own apiary and honey business, Bee Wild Honey Farm. His interest began when his parents started giving him a teaspoon of raw honey each morning to combat his allergies. A few years later, he began attending local beekeepers’ meetings with his brother. His first year, he purchased six established hives. Stewart currently has 25 hives in three different counties, producing more than 3,000 pounds of honey. He is supported by his FFA advisor, Matt Griffith. This award is sponsored by Zoetis.
