To whom it may concern, I'm requesting a waiver of a beekeeping training certificate as a requirement for a honey bee keeping license in the city of Mounds View. I've obtained information about beekeeping by watching hundreds and perhaps thousands of hours of beekeeping videos on YouTube over the last 10 years. It all started with a coworker sharing a video of the flowhive, a piece of beekeeping equipment which allows for harvesting of honey without opening the hive, which was interesting from an engineering perspective. After that day the algorithm started recommending videos on beekeeping. The topics of these videos include but are not limited to installing packages, hive inspections, pros and cons of different types of hives, identification of pests and disease, queen rearing, swarm prevention, Q&As, and various other related topics. I've watched so many that I determined I should put some of this knowledge to actual use. The beekeeping related individuals I follow and channels I subscribe to include: Frederick Dunn - Certified Master Beekeeper specializing in helping backyard beekeepers David Burns - Certified Master Beekeeper specializing in helping beginning beekeepers a Canadian Beekeeper's Blog - Ian Steppler - Commercial beekeeper with 100s ❑f hives Kamon Reynolds - Tennessee's Bees - Commercial beekeeper with 100s of hives Duck River Honey - Beekeeper documenting his transition from hobbyist to commercial beekeeping Vino Farm - Hobbyist beekeeper that experiments with different hive designs Dr. Leo Sharashkin - 'Natural' beekeeper from Missouri, a proponent of the european style Layens hive vs. the more common Langstroth system. 628DirtRooster Bees - Randy McCaffery - Beekeeper specializing in cutouts Jeff Horchoff Bees - Beekeeper specializing in cutouts Thank you for your consideration. -Dustin Nyffeler On Wed, Apr 5, 2023 at 2:55 PM ❑ustin Nyffeler {dustin.nyffeler@gmail.com> wrote: Hi Barb, This is Dustin.
