Ryan M. Smith is the founder and producer of Massey Honey Co. as well as the lead author of this blog. His love for apiculture developed in college when he snuck into an entomology course in order to experience the university’s beehives during a field trip. Since then, his love for beekeeping and California agriculture developed into Massey Honey Co.

Ryan is a Southern California native, growing up in Yorba Linda, CA. He studied animal science within the college of agriculture at Cal Poly Pomona before attending veterinary school at Western University. Following the completion of his DVM, he went on to obtain a master’s degree in public health with an emphasis on food safety and veterinary public heath at the University of Minnesota.

Ryan currently practices small animal medicine in southern California.
