About David Glover
Known locally and online as "The Bartlett Bee Whisperer," David Glover, a decorated Desert Storm veteran, has been a beekeeper since 2009. What started as a hobby quickly turned into a passion for conservation and education.
David is a Master Beekeeper and a specialist in structural removals. He doesn't just keep bees; he understands bee biology, construction, and the delicate interaction between nature and the built environment.
The Philosophy
"I believe that every honeybee colony is a precious resource. In an era where pollinators are struggling, extermination should never be the first option. My goal is to bridge the gap between human comfort and nature's needs."

The 10 Commandments of Beekeeping
(According to David)
1.
Thou Shalt Respect the Hive
Approach with calm and purpose. Talk to them. — bees sense your mood.
2.
Thou Shalt Not Neglect Thy Bees
Regular inspections are key; absence breeds chaos (and swarms).
3.
Thou Shalt Provide a Clean and Safe Home
Keep hives dry, well-ventilated, and pest-free.
4.
Thou Shalt Learn the Way of the Bee
Study their life cycles, behaviors, and seasonal needs.
5.
Thou Shalt Never Harvest Too Much Honey
Leave enough for the bees — especially for winter.
6.
Thou Shalt Monitor for Pests and Disease
Varroa mites, tropilaelaps, foulbrood, wax moths — know thine enemies.
7.
Thou Shalt Be Gentle and Patient
No sudden movements. No loud noises. No smoke overload.
8.
Thou Shalt Mark Thy Queen (if thou canst)
For easier finding and better hive management.
9.
Thou Shalt Feed Thy Bees When Needed
Especially during nectar dearth, drought and winter.
10.
Thou Shalt Share the Buzz
Teach others, protect pollinators, and spread awareness.
11.
(Just because) "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's bees."
This "commandment" is popular in beekeeping circles to remind people not to steal or interfere with other beekeepers' hives. It’s part of the beekeeping culture that values respect, ethical practices, and sometimes a bit of humor.
