Better Beekeeping

We named this space Gather to represent its origin and its intention. Here we gather the community, trusted makers, and hand-selected goods to provide inspiration, expert guidance, and practical support for creating elevated outdoor experiences.

Gather - a Barebones Community Space

Join us for a class from insect scientist McKay Joice and learn to keep bees respectfully and responsibly. Beekeeping supplies will be available for purchase.
ABOUT McKAY JOICE McKay Joice holds a bachelors in biology with an emphasis in entomology from Utah State University. It was there that her love of bees was born as she worked with the fifth largest collection of bees in the world, helping to pin and classify them. She has assisted with beehives for over 10 years and been solo beekeeping for 4. Harvesting honey from the hives is a given, but she also harvests beeswax and propolis, which she uses to make tinctures. Her love of insects manifests in many ways: sewing her own nets, pinning and framing, teaching others, and raising certain species. She’s traveled to Cambodia, Canada, and around the United States in search of insects. McKay is currently on a quest to find Mexico’s gloriosa beetle, a species that has evaded her during several trips. For now, she’s focusing on her Utah bees...and hoping this will be her year.
