Meet the Team
Kory Goldsmith
Kory grew up in Denver, Colorado. In 1984 she rode her bicycle to western North Carolina to learn about organic gardening at a research facility run by the Mother Earth News. That's where she met Daniel who was the resident beekeeper. Kory moved to Chapel Hill to attend law school in 1987 and to Chatham County in 1994.
She kept bees on and off as a hobbyist until 2018 when she came home one day to find Daniel had purchased 10 nucs. Since then she has helped build a sideline nuc business focusing on rearing Caucasian queens.

Daniel Harnden
Daniel grew up in Atlanta Georgia where he fell in love with honeybees while watching them in his fifth grade science classroom. By 1984 he was the beekeeper for the Mother Earth News Eco-village in western North Carolina.
In 2018 his beekeeping hobby turned into a sideline business. Current projects include developing a local Chatham County strain of honeybees founded on Caucasian genetics and the CCBA queen rearing project. View this video documenting a swarm from our observation hive.

Greg Wolgemuth
Beekeeper extraordinaire Greg Wolgemuth has been an invaluable advisor to Frosty Meadow. His recommendation to install an observation hive transformed how we study and understand our colonies. More recently, his guidance on the CCBA Queen Rearing and Nuc Project has directly contributed to producing stronger, healthier nucs for our members.
