This episode focuses on bees, their hives and their relation to life as a human. This was a listener requested episode, based on a small poll I held. As always if you have show suggestions- send us and email at [email protected]

Welcome back to Hive Mind, I hope everyone has been staying safe.
In this episode I will be answering the life long question: "What are hornets and wasps, and what are they good for?" 
I will also be covering information on the newly dubbed 'murder hornet.'
2020 has been one heck of a year hasn't it?

Hello everyone! Sorry for the hiatus, I've been busy the past few months however I am still around and I am still beekeeping.

In this episode join me as I pay a salute to the Founding Colonies and the various methods they practiced while beekeeping. 

A special thanks to Schoolhouse Rock for providing the intro to this episode, as well as thanks to the Founding Fathers and all of our service men and women who help uphold the freedoms those early colonists fought for so long ago.

In this unscripted episode I will be talking about the hardships with beekeeping in the Northern Nevada climate (and our government), plus some differences I've noticed between Carniolan vs. Italian bees. 

In this episode I will be detailing how to order or catch a swarm of bees and how to install them to their new hive home.

Bee safe and bee happy!

Just a quick episode to thank everyone for supporting the show, and a cheers for a prosperous new year!

In this long overdue episode I will be taking a look at some of the most recent, as well as some past studies on the psychology and sociology of the bee and making comparisons to a hive in relation to ones brain. 

As always if you enjoyed the show take a moment and share it with anyone who may be interested in beekeeping!

As a quick side note, I would like to apologize for the lapse in how often I've been posting episodes, I earned a promotion at work and I haven't had much time to write or record something worthwhile.

I'd like to include a special thanks to all of the new listeners the show has received the past months as well as some credits for the music and audio used in the episode: Dean Martin, Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller, Dave Brubeck, and James Dooley. 

And as always- Bee safe, and Bee happy!
