Alan Turanski grew up in the beekeeping world and started to keep his own hive by age 10. His father Dick Turanski started a honey and beekeeping accessory company in the 1970’s after trying some poison oak honey at a friend's house. Soon Glory Bee honey was being sold in large quantities to natural food stores and bakeries for use in healthy breads. 

Alan took over as President of the company several years ago and has led the company forward with an eye of sustainability, philanthropy and honing in on the long standing values of the company, which led him to turn Glory Bee into an official B Corporation. 

Alan talks about navigating the difficult transition from father to son, how his faith guides the principles of the business, and what Glory Bee is doing to ensure the health and survival of the honey bee.
