Dirk Hughes is an educator, writer, abstract artist, and avid proponent of living an engaged and fulfilling life. A life-long resident of Michigan, he was raised to appreciate the changing seasons of the world around him, both literally and figuratively, and has devoted his attention ever since to exploring that world and understanding our place within it. With degrees in English and Law, he approaches this exploration passionately and logically, perpetually guided by the motto “be interested in everything”.
Five years ago, he took the first awkward steps on the journey of beekeeping, a subject he had been interested in for years. Originally drawn to it by the prospect of providing his family with a self-sustaining, natural sweetener, he soon found that small-scale, household beekeeping held benefits far beyond the jars of honey he hoped to harvest.
