Ritchie Schaefer

Owner B2B Honey Co

I’m a small but growing beekeeper in Mankato, MN. Have been keeping bees since 2018 when a Nolan Majeski, a commercial beekeeper in Winthrop, MN tragically passed away in an accident. Nolan had bees on a plot of land of ours and I was tasked by family to find a beekeeper to place bees out there. A local beekeeper wouldn’t call me back. So I purchased some of those bees and learned by trial and error. Fast forward I focus on honey sales and value added and specialty honey products as I grow my operation to over 100 colonies.
