BEEKEEPING RESOURCES

Resource Collaboration
At Ease Orchard is proud to partner with Justin Ruger—founder of Accessible Beekeeping—who specializes in making beekeeping inclusive for individuals of all abilities. Despite personal challenges that include a traumatic brain injury and stroke, Justin continues to innovate by developing adaptive equipment and training methods for new and disabled beekeepers.

Our Resident Beekeeper

While Justin’s expertise shapes our resource collection, At Ease Orchard also benefits from the hands-on knowledge of founder Joe Ricker, who manages our on-site apiary. By combining Justin’s passion for inclusivity with Joe’s practical experience, we ensure veterans, first responders, and anyone interested can enjoy the calming, community-focused nature of beekeeping.



BEEKEEPING NEWSLETTER

We are happy to provide a newsletter that provides information about the skills and tools to becoming a beekeeper and how to make beekeeping accessible for those who serve our country to enjoy this amazing hobby!

EVENTS

During the beekeeping season, At Ease Orchard offers hands-on training for military veterans, their caregivers, and first responders. Participants learn practical beekeeping skills in a supportive environment, guided by experienced mentors who understand both agriculture and life after service.

We have extra protective gear available and can make accommodations as needed to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe while learning.
