Jon Zawislak is the apiculture specialist for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture.  He has worked and played with honey bees since 1998 and is equally at home in the bee yard, the laboratory or the classroom.  Each year he presents lectures, workshops, and short courses for new and experienced beekeepers throughout Arkansas and beyond.  His teaching emphasizes the biology and behavior of bees to keep them productive and healthy.  He also spreads the word about the importance of pollinators to the non-beekeeping public.  Jon has a background in botany and entomology and is a certified Master Beekeeper the EAS.  He and his family operate Walnut Valley Honey Farm in Little Rock, AK, supplying pollinators for area community gardens and producing great products from their hives.

After making their first hive and selling it on eBay, David and his wife, Sheri, began a family business that now includes all their family. Besides selling beekeeping equipment, queens, packages and nucs David also shares a beekeeping podcast with Jon Zawislak on TuneIn.
