John Rath

Partner

Bees have always been a part of John’s life, even before he became a co-owner of Betterbee. He grew up surrounded by bees and other farm animals including horses, mules, and chickens. As a student, he made the decision to study mechanical engineering. His degree opened doors in the power industry where he would successfully develop improvements to combustion and environmental systems for power plants.

In 2014 John made the decision to return home and start a position at Betterbee. There he would take on various tasks such as web design, woodenware manufacturing, product design, and of course beekeeping. In 2017 John stepped into his new role as partner, where he now oversees product development and fulfillment of operations. Six years later John is constantly searching for ways to better serve Betterbee’s broad range of customers.
