Grant Gillard

Grant F.C. Gillard is an ordained Presbyterian Pastor in Jackson, Missouri. His true passion is beekeeping and has served as President of the Missouri State Beekeepers Association (http://mostatebeekeepers.org).

Along with his many speaking engagements, both locally and nationally, he has authored several books on beekeeping, with special emphasis on beginning beekeeping and the shift from the hobby level to the income-producing level.

He maintains around 200 beehives in southeast Missouri and markets his naturally-produced honey through the local farmer's markets and heath food stores. He also raises his own queen honey bees from locally-adapted, survivor stock. He can best be reached through gillard5@charter.net
