Charlie Vanden Heuvel re-acquainted himself with tending to honey bees as he settled down. Rather than dipping his toe into the hobby, he dove in through attending multiple bee clubs, entering the Oregon Master Beekeeper Program and, most helpfully, mentoring other beekeepers throughout the Columbia Gorge. Currently at the Master Level of the Oregon Master Beekeeper Program and an Instructor and Mentor for the Apprentice Program for the Columbia Gorge region.
