While home from school in the depths of the COVID pandemic, Colby Johnson started researching beekeeping as something to do when the world returned to normal. A year ago, he and his dad, Dr. Jeremy Johnson, bought his first hive. On July 4, Colby harvested his first honey – 25 pounds of it – and almost immediately sold out. The 13-year-old and his dad, an Olney Hamilton Hospital board member, plan to go big next year by expanding the number of hives and potentially triple their honey output next year to 75 pounds. Colby has a few jars left, and can be reached at jjohnson@grahamhealth.org.
