Fascinated by bees even as a boy in Hungary, this research scientist at the Beaverlodge, Alberta Research Station has since received international recognition for his research into honeybees. He is best known for his development of the Alberta Bee, a superior strain of honeybee with high honey production and the ability to survive Prairie winters which is proving to be of immense value to Western honey producers.
