Meet The Beekeeper
As a lifelong gardener with an interest in science and biology, Lauren Doninger considered raising honey bees for decades. In 2016, she decided to go for it.
Today, Lauren single-handedly manages 8-10 hives behind her yellow house in Hamden. She maintains the hive boxes, sets swarm traps, harvests and extracts honey, and makes beeswax luminaries, gentle soaps, and BOB sticks.

A Passion for Bees, Teaching, and Community
Beekeeping is a difficult and rewarding hobby, and Lauren is grateful for the resources, support, and community of the Connecticut Beekeepers Association.
When she’s not beekeeping, Lauren teaches Psychology at Gateway Community College, raises puppies on behalf of Guiding Eyes for the Blind, and enjoys time with her family and friends on Cape Cod.
