A second-generation beekeeper, Stephen Repasky is a nationally recognized speaker, author and consultant from Pittsburgh, PA.  He is a certified Master Beekeeper through the Eastern Apicultural Society and is the past-President of the Pennsylvania State Beekeepers Association and a former member of the Board of Directors for the American Beekeeping Federation and is a member of the Penn State Center for Pollinator Research Advisory Board and the Pennsylvania State Apiary Advisory Board.  Stephen manages approximately 200 colonies in western Pennsylvania and manages the apiary program at Pittsburgh International Airport where there are nearly 100 colonies used in honey production, research studies and queen production. 

Stephen had his first book published by Wicwas Press in 2014 entitled " Swarm Essentials" and can be found teaching beekeeping classes and workshops in the Pittsburgh area and presenting lectures on a variety of beekeeping topics at local clubs and many regional and national conferences around the United States.

He also owns and operates a pest control company called Bee Control specializing in the control and prevention of all stinging insects - which works out well since they make every attempt to remove and relocate honey bee colonies rather than kill them like some other companies out there.

He fell in love with Kenya and the Kenyan people on his first trip in 2018 with Maryann Frazier and has not missed a trip since!
