Makenleigh Bledsoe is the Program Coordinator for the UF/IFAS Honey Bee Research and Extension Lab. She supports the lab’s Extension mission by coordinating outreach efforts and assisting with day to day operations. She is primarily responsible for planning the UF/IFAS Bee College and handles all program logistics from communicating with speakers and participants to creating the event schedule and program materials.

Makenleigh also serves as a primary point of contact for the lab. She answers phone calls and responds to emails from our stakeholders, and connects them with UF/IFAS resources and research based information. Her passion for apiculture began early. At the age of 15, she started her own beekeeping business and brings that dedication to her efforts every single day.
