RCWS Meeting - Tiffany Ayres, Keys to Bee

Tiffany Ayres worked in the veterinary field for more than twenty-five years in an array of leadership positions.  For several years as a Regional Operations Manager, she worked with hundreds of teams, providing guidance, support, and training.  She also taught management courses at York Technical Institute, she offered management consultation services for Zoetis Animal Health, and she presented management topics across the country for Fred Pryor Seminars.   In the early 2000’s, she took up beekeeping as a hobby and over the years it developed into a deep passion as she helped mentor other beekeepers.  In 2023, she founded Keys to Bee, Inc. and achieved her Masters in Beekeeping from Cornell University.  To aid beekeepers in the region, Tiffany was awarded a USDA grant to establish an online training platform to support beekeepers in their first few years of managing bees.  

Today Keys To Bees offers all audiences education on the honey bee and other pollinators.  From youth to adults to business organizations, the delivery is different, but the messaging is consistent; delivering the message of environmental sustainability and the importance of all of our pollinators.
