Keith Roberts

Keith Roberts first realized his fascination for bees during a trip to the L.A. County Fair. He was struck by the large observation bee hive set up by the Los Angeles County Beekeepers Association (LACBA) and spent most of his day at the booth asking questions and gathering information about honeybees. He continued his education from there through reading every beekeeping book he could find and engaging in a powerful mentorship with Walt McBride who taught him much of what he knows about bees. Keith became an adept beekeeper as well as the Vice President and subsequently the President of LACBA. Keith is still active in the club and shares his knowledge and experience whenever he can, including teaching beekeeping 101 classes on a monthly basis. In 2014, Keith partnered with Danny Finkelstein to realize his ultimate dream of creating a hub for the beekeeping community in the San Fernando Valley. This hub is known today as The Valley Hive.

He is now the president of Share The Buzz, a 501c3 that facilitates beekeeping for veterans and first responders suffering from PTSD.
