My name is Thelmo Gonçalves de Souza Oliveira, I'm 24 years old and I was born on October 3, 1989, at Itaúna, Minas Gerais, Brazil, where my family currently lives.
I lived with my family and studied in Itaúna until I was 17, when I participated of the Rotary International Exchange Program to study one year in Queretaro city, Mexico. In 2008, I came back to Brazil and finished High School in my hometown. In 2009, I joined the Federal University of São João del Rei (UFSJ) to study Animal Science. I participated in some undergraduate research project at the university in São João del Rei - MG, supervised by the professor Carla Regina and Deodoro Brighenti, who's teached me everything about honey bees and beekeeping.

As I mentioned before, my experience with beekeeping began in 2009, progressing gradually over the years. I really identified myself with the area since the beginning and have enjoyed more every day. From 2012, I specialized in the production of queens in small and large scales, with the university extension project and in brazilian green propolis production. I have worked on various crops and honey extractions, managements and clusters strengt. Nowadays I'm initiating in Mead production.
