Pappy Richard

Beekeeping and a whole lot of other shenanigans. 

Hello everyone. Pappy Richard here. Thanks for joining me. 

My oldest grandson, Beau started calling my Pappy Richard at a young age. I wanted him to call me “Grandfather” but he wasn’t having anything to do with that. Now my entire family and many of my friends and coworkers call me Pappy Richard or PR for short. 

I live in Central Pennsylvania with my wife, Heidi. We’ve been married for 41 years. We have 4 grown daughters and 6 grandchildren. 

I Love the outdoors. I keep honey bees and chickens. I make maple syrup in the winter and garden in the spring and summer. 

I like to be self-sufficient so I often find myself fixing or building something. 

Join me here for a look at all my adventures; some funny, some serious, some informative. ALL enjoyable. I promise to keep it family friendly.
