___

This week on Episode #133 of ADHD for Smart Ass Women, Tracy welcomes Adrienne Smith, a beekeeper who has been accepted into the Oregon State Master Beekeeper program. Adrienne will take her final journeyperson exam at the end of this month and has been studying honeybee beekeeping since 2014. She resides in Central Oregon with her husband on a small farm where they keep bees, chickens, donkeys, a cat, and some koi fish.

Adrienne shares the circumstances surrounding her own ADHD diagnosis and her struggle with Auditory Processing Disorder. She discusses how she got into beekeeping after years of "hobby hopping" and why ADHD women are often drawn to careers that go against the status quo. Adrienne also addresses the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated field, why beekeeping is so appealing to the ADHD brain, her knowledge of native bees and which species need the most protection, and how hyperfocus is her ultimate ADHD strength.
