SUMMARY: John Long of Ocean Springs transformed his beekeeping hobby into a small, sustainable business in 2013, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic with his daughter, Emily Clark. They aimed to provide local honey to their community while promoting environmental sustainability. Long’s grandchildren also contribute by creating bee-themed artwork for sale. Initially starting with just a few hives in his backyard, Long’s beekeeping efforts have grown, enabling him to share surplus honey with friends. He emphasizes that beekeeping not only brings sweetness to the community but also supports biodiversity and forest conservation by aiding in the pollination of trees and plants.
