Hello,

Welcome to episode two of the Beehive Jive beekeeping podcast.

We’re two beekeepers based in South London, we don’t claim to be experts so this isn’t the place for you if you’re looking for beekeeping gurus.

However; if you enjoy hearing people chatting about bees this is the podcast for you.

In this episode, we discuss some of the pests threaten out bees and what precautions we can take to support our hives and other beekeepers.
