Ken Fanta

I'm Ken Fanta — during the week, a Business Relationship Manager at an academic medical center; the rest of the time, on a small farmette outside Madison, WI, on a tractor, in a bee suit, or under something that's leaking. People find that funny. I find it obvious.

My discipline runs on one idea: relationships aren't a soft skill, they're the strategy — with stages: Ad Hoc, Order Taker, Service Provider, Trusted Advisor, Strategic Partner.

You don't open a hive of fifty thousand bees as a strategic partner. You open it ad hoc, badly, and earn the rest. Same ladder. The bees are just more honest about where you stand.

This channel is the hands-on half of that life: hive inspections, tractor work and equipment repair, fix-it-or-replace-it calls, and land projects at Bees and Weeds Farm.

Some episodes are just the work. Some are the crossover. Both are the point.

New videos roughly every two weeks, tied to the hive cycle — plus extras when something breaks. Often.
