Joey Bee Outdoors, Science, and Nature

There have been many comical situations that have happened to me with animals in the wild. The kind that you laugh about after the fact. A situation occurred inside a science lab with a pink-toed tarantula. I am laughing now but at the time it was not so funny. Join me on a great adventure!

So what do you think is the most important piece of outdoor gear? As you mull over this thought I have spent countless hours in nature as an environmental scientist, film maker, and adventurer. Without a doubt the most important piece of gear is……

As an Environmental Scientist I have had many adventures. Tracking grizzly bears in the top of the Rockies was one of the greatest. We were in search of critical grizzly bear habitat. With all of your gear in your backpack and heading toward rough terrain, it was a time of: Guts, Glory, and Determination!

I have traveled our country from sea to shinning sea. Vacationing along the coast is one of my favorite places to go. This is from a man who loves the mountains and has spent much of his life researching there. There are so many unique outdoor activities to do at the shore. Surf’s up!

Attracting butterfly’s to your home adds beauty from our natural world. There are plants that are purposely planted in my gardens so that many species of butterfly’s make it their home. On this show I also discuss a few other necessary components for the perfect butterfly garden.

The elk or as the Native Americans called this magnificent animal Wapiti is by far one of the largest mammals in North America.  On this show I will discuss the populations both in the east and west.  As usual,  I will share stories of encounters with elk across this great country of ours.

As I travel across America I either take my bike in my truck or I rent one when I fly to a destination.  Biking is a great way to see the back roads.  There is so much of scenic and historic America that we pass by at 65 mph (or greater).  Let me take you...

Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition have changed the face of the Earth throughout geologic time.  On this show I will take you on an awesome journey across the Earth.  We will explore it’s ever-changing surface.

Many people are becoming great organic gardeners.  But what about your lawn?  I bring my good friend and Organic Gardener, Inspector Dave into the studio to discuss how easy it is to have a beautiful lawn grown organically.

There are many excellent organizations in our country that have a goal of protecting and preserving the great outdoors.  Today I bring my mentor, Bill Borowski into the studio to tell all about Trout Unlimited and their conservation efforts.
