West VirginiaHello everyone! I'm Jody. Welcome to American Cafe!
Yang Chen, our guest today is Mark Boudevaul, from Beverly, West Virginia. And he has several ways that he makes a living.
Primarily, Mark is a beekeeper.
Bee Keeper!
He's also the host of a bluegrass radio show and is also a musician himself.
He plays the steel guitar that you hear in the background and the dobro.
It's common in bluegrass music. Oh, Yang Chen, listen to that lonely, haunting sound.
Now, let's meet Mark
Mark Boudervaul and I'm from Beverly, West Virginia. Well I'm a beekeeper primarily but I also do a bluegrass radio show and play steel guitar and dobro.
I know. He has a great radio voice.
Raising bees sounds like such interesting work.
Mark started bee keeping when he was around 17 years old. He says a guy a couple farms over, meaning a neighbor, had bees and Mark was intrigued.
Right. So Mark pestered his neighbor long enough ...
Right. To pester means to bother somebody. So, Mark pestered his neighbor to teach him about bee keeping and it worked.
I started when I was about 17. I knew a guy a couple farms over from us that had bees and I was pretty intrigued by it. I pestered him long enough for him to show me what to do. And I got my own bees when I was about 18. And I'm 48 now so, that's about 30 years. |
