Maryland Beekeeper

You could call beekeeper Rick Nestler the “bee whisperer.” Every year he brings his bees to Distillery Lane Ciderworks to help owner Rob White pollinate his orchard. Many crops need bees to help with pollination. That’s why the Maryland Department of Agriculture employs Klinker, a black lab who can sniff out diseases that threaten bees.
