Bob McMillin has been keeping bees since 1972. He’s often introduced as the “World’s Fastest Beekeeper” since he spends a lot of time on the racetrack as a competitive sprint car driver. He has worked with Africanized bees in Central America, kept up to 300 hives at a time, and works with large commerical beekeepers to build extraction, bottling and warehousing facilities. Bob is past president of Beaver Valley Area Beekeepers and Central West PA Beekeepers. He manages bees for honey retail and bulk sales and he also provides pollination for farmers. Bob is a mason and general contractor and at age 26 built his own house which he still lives in today! His grandfather, father and uncle taught him about beekeeping and sprint cars. You can still find him on the track racing his #5 “Honey Bear” sprint car.
