Hold onto your veils, because this week's episode is a wild ride through the wonderful world of beekeeping with Ohio-based guest Emily Mueller, a certified master herbalist, doctoral student, homeschooling mom of four, and — most importantly — a certified crazy bee lady.

Beekeeper Emily schooled us on the art of drone races, the jaw-dropping healing powers of propolis for cavities and cold sores, and bee venom therapy, which she's been administering to herself and others for more than a decade.

Emily also walked us through her swarm removal business, her queen-rearing process, her propolis mineral paste (6,000 jars sold!), and the time she caught a flying queen mid-air with her bare hands from the top of a 50-foot ladder.

She's also the beekeeper who talks to her bees, scolds them when they misbehave, and credits the hive with giving her a meditative calm she never found elsewhere. Whether you're a seasoned beekeeper or just bee-curious, this episode delivers equal parts science, soul, and sheer chaos.
