Chris Hansen

Chris Hansen is a Wisconsin native who first started keeping bees in 1998 on the dairy farm where he was raised. Since starting his own honey farm, Chris has dabbled in just about everything the beekeeping industry has to offer. Originally a farmer, mill worker, and truck driver by trade, Chris has carried his many skills over to his life as an apiarist. Combining his love of honeybees and history of truck driving, he founded Hansen Honey Trucking in 2012. Originally just wanting to transport his own bees, he moved outside of the industry standard and designed his own custom package bee transport trailer. Now 15 years and four trailers later, he has become a leader in the package bee transport industry. When he isn't working, Chris enjoys spending time camping, fishing, and watching movies with his wife and eight kids.
