May 30, 2025 — The Brave Farmer, which offers bee removal and relocation services, is the brainchild and passion of owner Amanda Bravender — a professional licensed hair and makeup artist by trade — and her husband and co-owner, Joshua Bravender. The two began providing this in-demand niche service almost by accident.
“While I still actively work in hair and makeup, beekeeping started as a hobby that turned into something much bigger,” said Bravender. “It all began when a friend had bees in her home, and I helped her safely remove and relocate them. Word spread like wildfire after that.”
