Bee Keeping Motz Style!

Nicholas Motz, son of Joe Motz, has been a beekeeper since 2002 when he was only seven years old. It was then that he started his own bee business, Bee Hill Honey. His father taught him everything he knew about building hives, working the bees, bottling the honey, making candles, and saving profits. As many know, Joe is a long time entrepreneur and his plan was to pass some groundwork on to his son just as Joe's father, Edmund, had done for him.

With the help of his parents (Joe & Jane), Nicholas continues to work hard with his bees. He himself has been a "busy bee" working up to fifteen hours per week with his over one million honey bees! Every Saturday from June through October you can find them at the Anderson Farmer's Market in Cincinnati, Ohio from 9am - 1pm selling their delicious honey and Beeswax Candles.

NRHS Softball Turf Infield

The Motz Group installed 24/7® Softball and Baseball Synthetic Turf Systems for New Richmond High School after mounting concerns that their athletic custodian was spending hours and hours getting their fields ready to play on each day. “We look forward to being able to play more of our baseball and softball schedule than what we have been able to in the past because of wet fields” says Doug Foote, Athletic Director for NRHS. “We feel the softball and baseball synthetic turf that the Motz group installed at New Richmond will be as beneficial to our school district and the community as the football synthetic turf field they put in our stadium field was. Job well done Motz Group.”

24/7® delivers a stable surface and is guaranteed for long-lasting performance for sporting fields including softball and baseball synthetic turf. This system is designed for all levels of play from little league to park sporting facilities to Major League Baseball.

Tom Durbin, Superintendent for New Richmond adds “… I was amazed at the sincere and genuine concern from the (The Motz Group) workers about making sure that every detail was absolutely perfect! It was truly a pleasure to work with the Motz Group”
