TOMS RIVER – Katie Culbert has made a name for herself in recent years, dating back to her success at the science fair and her first place in the 2020 Army Education Outreach Program (AEOP) National Science Challenge for her bee project when she was in college. While in first grade at High School North, Katie won first place among all ninth graders at the Delaware Valley Science Fair for her project on Breakthroughs in Honey Bee Health, which earned her the gold medal and entry to the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), the world’s largest science competition for high school students. And it was this commitment to bees and their environmental impact that shaped Katie’s last venture… or, should we say, adventure.
Katie’s Adventures in Beekeeping is a YouTube channel she created to document her journey and, she hopes, help spark interest in the field among other burgeoning environmental scientists. The channel is four episodes deep, covering everything from placing bees in their new home to hive inspections and dealing with mites.
Backed by her early scientific successes, her experience in the district’s Authentic Scientific Research (ASR) program, the support of her faculty and peers, and a genuine passion for beekeeping, this latest effort is sure to keep Katie Culbert in the foreground as an up-and-coming expert in the field.
