In this episode of Bee Love Beekeeping we have the pleasure of going all the way to New Zealand to have a discussion with a beekeeper who doesn't like honey! What?!

Sarah Cross lives and takes care of her honey bees in Ngaruawahia, New Zealand. She actually started her career managing 250 hives, but now is more into education, hive management, consulting, and writing about bees.

We discuss Manuka honey, varroa, IPM, and Sarah's favorite wild & crazy beekeeping moments. Above all else, she recommends the Three C's of beekeeping: Stay COOL, CALM & COLLECTED.

In beekeeping headlines we learn about beekeepers in Spain demonstrating by pouring honey on themselves, Africanized bees killing chickens in Texas, and the EPA approving new varroa treatments.

It's all about having fun while we learn about beekeeping and sharing the love of honey bees!
