Smith has no plans to quit cultivating bees. However, he said he fell into his passion by coincidence. When he was younger, he used to have terrible allergies until a friend who worked as a beekeeper started giving him bee pollen to take. Smith said it fixed his allergies, so he decided to start a hive of his own.
Smith holds up a honeycomb frame freshly pulled from a hive. He'll use a comb to brush the bees off, then take the frame home and put it in a centrifuge to shake the honey off.
Steve Smith, shown at one of his hives near Loudy-Simpson Park, has been tending bees for 35 years. He keeps 62 hives throughout Moffat County and sells honey, pollen and beeswax to local restaurants and stores.
