Mark Walters, aka The Honey Guy, is a third generation beekeeper. He was born in Minneapolis, but raised in Madagascar. When he returned to the US, he attended Concordia College in Moorhead, MN. There, he majored in French and Biology and met his wife, Sharilyn.
HIs interest in beekeeping began in 1975. His allergies that fall were horrible and a friend stopped by and said “Man, you need some local, raw honey!” That winter, he read all he could find on beekeeping. The summer of 1976, he and Sharilyn got their first hive.
(Oh, a side note: He isn’t troubled with pollen allergies anymore!)
