Life gets busy. Sometimes our bees aren't the highest priority and get neglected as a result. Swarming, absconding, drowning, cross combing, devoured by small hive beetle...the list goes on and on. Join us for an honest Fall update from 3 different Ohio beekeepers.

Golden Rod is coming on and the season is starting to feel like it's coming to close. Greg and Dan discuss box configurations, pail feeders, late splits and getting ready for winter.

Join us for the spring update show as we discuss coming out of the winter, spring growth and summer goals.

Join on us for a road trip thru 9 states and 4 trucks to deliver 1 MILLION Fat Bee Man Bees! It was a heckuva ride with tales of woe, BBQ and a broken down Chevrolet...it's a mighty hard living but a damn good feeling to run these roads.

Today we're talking with Contrary Beekeeper, Mark Smith of Flatwoods Bee Farm in Locust, NC. Mark has a unique approach to beekeeping that transcends commonly misunderstood disciplines. We dig deep with open and honest conversation and even go down a rabbit hole or two.

One of the most overlooked and misunderstood aspects of beekeeping is what actually goes on inside the hive. Its an incredibly fascinating world inside the hive. From feeding babies to taking out the trash, every honey bee has a specific job to do inside the hive and those jobs change as the bees mature. Join us as we scratch the surface and learn more about The Life Cycle Of The Honey Bee!!
