Season 2 Episode 4: About Bees, Culture & Curiosity Podcast – Saskatchewan Honey Crops & Westcoast Canadian Queen Rearing with Steve Clifford

Steve Clifford's lifetime among the bees has taken him from North Dakota bee inspector to managing 1800 colonies in Saskatchewan, at the edge of agriculture. He kept bees there for decades, producing two or three-hundred pound crop averages of beautiful white Canadian honey. He saw the transition away from package-beekeeping in Canada to nearly universal over-wintering in the far north.

Recently, Steve has moved to the mild Canadian westcoast and set up a queen and nuc business. In this episode, we walk, step-by-step, through Steve's queen cell production system. We get a great view of honey production and queen breeding from a real expert!
