Nancy Ruppert is a former nurse who took up beekeeping on the side some years ago. Changes in the healthcare industry and her love of bees and beekeeping led her to make a career change, and she now is one of six apiary inspectors in the state of NC - and the first and only female inspector. Nancy is knowledgeable and insightful about all things environmental, and especially about the challenges facing pollinators. She is gracious and warm - thanks no doubt in significant part to her close relationship with her seven siblings and their single mother.
