FEATURED CONTRIBUTOR
As Howler’s youngest-ever contributor, born in 2011, Marek Nahorski is also likely the youngest beekeeper in Costa Rica. We’re pleased to share the two-part story of how this came about — in Marek’s own words, along with his own photos — starting this month with “My Bee Farm Visit.”
The native of Szczecin, Poland showed signs of being multi-talented as a preschooler. “From the beginning,” his mom recalls, “he was a child who did not play with toys.” At the age of 4, Marek got his first DJ console and started playing concerts. During the pandemic, he gave an interview on Polish breakfast television.
Soon after, Marek bravely accepted the move with his family to Costa Rica — a country so distant from his homeland. With virtually no knowledge of English or Spanish, he started attending school here. He opened a business with 3-D printers, and then used his earnings to buy vending machines. Next, he was able to fulfill another dream of having his own bee apiary. His family now looks forward to the first honey!
