	Description:		As people take up hobby beekeeping and bees continue to succumb to diseases, one Northwoods beekeeper has made it a goal over the years to help educate people about the process. Nate Sheppard continues our We Live Up Here series with the story. A bright yellow sign hangs in front of Hansen Honey Farm’s main shop. It shows a cartoon bee with two words written across it: Bee Crossing. The sign not only informs visitors as to the nature of this farm, but also serves as an appropriate warning. Where there is honey, there are bound to be bees nearby. Thousands and thousands of them. And for Chris Hansen, founder and president of Hansen Honey Farm, he wouldn’t have it any other way.
