Caleb Hutcherson rehomes bee swarms in his apiary on Pick & Peck Farms and sells the honey to support his operation.

University of Arkansas senior Caleb Hutcherson catches several nuisance honey bee swarms a day as a community service, but rather than exterminating the bees, he rescues them. The resettled bees live in a spacious, lakeside apiary on his family's Peck & Pick Farm in Prairie Grove where they happily produce gallons of wildflower honey, which is available for purchase.
