This week, Dave Wescott and Scott Calentine continue the conversation from the previous episode. We dive into pest and diseases once again- addressing the common misconception of bees and yellow jackets/hornets. Not all "bees" are the same! Know the difference between honey bees, other bees, and things that are not bees. In this episode, we focus on things such as nosema, chalkbrood, small hive beetles, wax moths, and other pests. If you suspect your hives have any of these pests or diseases contact a local beekeeper and consult various sources to determine the problem. Don't try to solve things alone! Use the resource of more experienced beekeepers.

As always, thank you for listening. We hope you had fun with us and learned something insightful or new about bees. Honey bees are key to our world. Stay tuned for more episodes to come!
