A man stands in a bee-keeping suit, holding a smoker in one hand that wafts smoke up past his face.
Brent Wesley, aka Wesley the Keeper, started Akron Honey in 2013. He raises honeybees in the city and harvests their honey without filtering or straining. This portrait is named for a dark variety made in the Middlebury neighborhood. Wesley educates schoolchildren to save bees by avoiding pesticides and not mowing wildflowers.
Akron, 2016
