Tim Huffman practices and promotes sustainable beekeeping. He's been keeping bees in backyards across Anchorage since 2018, and has been the beekeeper for 49th State Brewing since 2020. He successfully overwinters 80% of his colonies, and uses them to create additional colonies with locally mated queens. Tim hasn't purchased new bees in 4 years, and all of his honey now comes from overwintered colonies.Tim wants to break Alaska’s dependence on imported California bees by developing a sustainable beekeeping community, in which local beekeepers use modern methods and gear to replicate his success.He shares local beekeeping information on his YouTube Channel, Anchorage Backyard Beekeeping. He is one of many experienced beekeepers that post information and answer questions in the Midnight Sun Bee Club Forum page on Facebook.
