In this episode, I sit down with a local beekeeper from Caves Beach, NSW, who shares his incredible story of resilience after losing 120 hives to the devastating Varroa mite outbreak. Now managing around 30 hives and working closely with other local beekeepers to care for over 400 hives, he talks about how the community is rebuilding the bee population and keeping the honey flowing.

We dive deep into the fascinating world of bees — how they communicate through the “bee dance,” how their colonies operate, and what it takes to keep them healthy in the face of growing challenges.
