Lyndsay Peterson
Bryan’s Bees is owned and operated by Bryan Castro. In 2008 he attended California State University Channel Islands where he studied entomology and ecology, while working in the California State University Channel Islands Pollination Ecology Lab. It was there that he fell in love with honey bees and beekeeping. In 2012, Bryan bought his first five packages of bees, and Bryan’s Bees was born. After ending his internship at CSUCI he worked at Associate's Insectary raising beneficial insects, Jubilee Honey Company as a commercial beekeeper, and Terminix as a pest control technician. In April of 2015 Bryan began working for Bryan's Bees full time.
