Episode notes
The U.S. is experiencing "Sudden and Severe Losses" to honey bee colonies, anywhere from 50% - 100%. Is it time to panic?
In today's episode we discuss those bee losses, hear some wild & crazy beekeeping stories, and have a discussion with James Wheeldon, a beekeeper in Warblington, Hampshire, England.
We also learn about James' new charity organization, Beekeeping For Hope. It's a way for beekeepers to give back through donating a small portion of their honey harvest to people around the world suffering from food insecurity.
Other topics include Varroa Mites, Queen Retirement Communities, and much more!
Beekeeping and the beekeepers, it's all about he love of honey bees!
