Anton Joubert
March 14, 2024
Our speaker for the March 14, 2024 ACBA meeting will be our new NC Apiary Inspector, Anton Joubert. This will be a great time to meet the newest member of the State Agricultural team as he just started his new position over the Western Piedmont Region on January 2nd of this year!
Anton was born and raised in Pretoria, South Africa and immigrated to the United States in the late 90s. He grew up in Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, and got a Bachelor's of Science Degree from UNCG in 2013. His love for the outdoors and research took him all over the continental US, working in ecotoxicology research with honeybees and native pollinators. Anton is a first-generation beekeeper, has always fascinated by the inner workings of the honeybee colony, and loves the diversity in different kinds of people and backgrounds that the beekeeping hobby attracts.
