Steph and I discuss a controversial subject. Sexism in beekeeping. As females in a male dominated industry, we talk about the challenges we face and why we are continually challenged.

Happy World Bee day! But what does it mean?! We have a chat discussing why this isn’t just a hallmark occasion. It’s more than that. It’s celebrating our existence. It’s celebrating the hardest workers of them all. Our bees.

This is a repost as it got taken down (weirdly ) In NSW our bees are dying: We are facing the hard facts of Varroa on our shores. The DPI are hitting this hard with the euthanasia of all beehives in the red zone including healthy hives. We sit and discuss with Vast Harvest their personal story and the devastation that is varroa.

As we approach winter did you know the best thing to plant is broccoli in the colder season? The bees loveit, we love it and we promise a few laughs along the way.

With Varroa finding its way on our shores June 2022 the DPI have hit this pest hard. Healthy hives are being euthanised within a 10km radius of varroa being discovered in a hive. What does all of this mean? I sit down with Nathan and have a chat about this very sad and controversial situation.

Steph, Nathan I discuss wintering down our hives. What does all this mean?! We also touch on disease management and how a beekeeper really is the ‘keeper of the bees.’

As a beekeeper you are bound to get stung. For Nathan, one of the ladies got him in a place where no man wants to be stung! Let’s laugh this one out and hear about Nathan’s story of bee sting survival!

In the last 12 months over 9 million Kgs of honey was imported into Australia. Why are we allowing this? We discuss why we should support one another!

Steph and I discuss the different tastes of honey, did you know Cat piss is actually a honey flavour high in medicinal properties?

We talk about Steph and her journey into beekeeping. We discuss what it means to be a ‘resilient beekeeper.’
