It is with a heavy heart that I share the news of the passing of Robb Russell. Many might not have known Robb, but he was an incredible man that I am proud to say was a friend. Robb ran the Wildlife Pro Network which bought nuisance wildlife control folks together. He ran podcasts for years to help educate, share knowledge, and train folks in the industry. I credit Robb with bringing honeybee removals into the forefront of the wildlife control industry. Robb had no beekeeping knowledge when he started, but he truly believed the wildlife control industry could help save honeybees that where destined for extermination. He held many podcasts on beekeeping and is the reason so many nwco's have added bee removals to their portfolio. I was fortunate to meet Robb in person a few years ago and check out his beehives with him, it will be a day I will remember forever.
Godspeed Robb, you have left a huge void in many of our lives and will be greatly missed.
For those that knew Robb, there is one last podcast being planned to honor Robb's life. Once I learn of the details, I will post them and hope you can attend. Let's send him off with the largest podcast ever on WPN.
