Tim Huffman moved to Alaska from Oregon in 1984. His many jobs have included state employment, commercial fishing, remote sport fish guiding, high school and college volleyball officiating, golf course employment, and rearing angelfish for local aquarium supply stores. In 2018, Tim began keeping bees in backyards across Anchorage and has been the beekeeper for 49th State Brewing since 2020. Tim wants to break Alaska's dependence on imported California bees by developing a sustainable beekeeping community in which local beekeepers use modern methods and gear to replicate his success. He shares local beekeeping information on his YouTube Channel, Anchorage Backyard Beekeeping. He is one of many experienced beekeepers who post information and answer questions on the Facebook Midnight Sun Bee Club Forum page.
