Hilary Kearney is an American beekeeper and the author of two books: QueenSpotting and The Little Book of Bees. Her business, Girl Next Door Honey, offers educational opportunities to hundreds of new beekeepers each year. She teaches beekeeping, rescues wild bee colonies and manages around 60 hives in her hometown of San Diego, California.

Hilary has collaborated with Comvita, the global leader in Mānuka Honey, for the third year of its bee rescue program, partnering with beekeepers and rescuers to relocate hives set to be terminated, and saving 40 million bees in honor of World Bee Day on May 20th. Comvita will work with independent beekeepers across the U.S. to provide the resources they desperately need to safely remove and relocate hives, placing them in areas where they can thrive, saving bees and ultimately benefiting bee populations.
