The Original Transplants Podcast Episode 45: "Walking Stick" 6/9/19

Sarah and Will tackle the beginning of summer and discuss plant migration. Yep, you read that right, they talk about plants moving over time. The bees are going along swimmingly and Will's swarm catching and splitting is paying off. Sarah has been having serious problems with their attack rooster but they discuss a few ways they deal with it. The landscape has ignited and many harvests have already come in. The podcast really takes off when a discussion of genetic engineering and skepticism takes off. Sarah rounds out the podcast with an article about renewing the butchering industry.
