  • A great beekeeping podcast

    The host does a pretty good job keeping the flow of the interviews going. I’ve listened to around 49 episodes and still have around 24 remaining. I appreciate the variety of content, which helps contributed to a rounded beekeeping education. There’s so many right answers in beekeeping, and so many controversies, but this podcast feels like a pretty solid place to explore/entertain both old and new ideas.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Secrets of Sustainable Beekeeping - With Beekeeper Michael Scott
Q: How do you view feeding in sustainable beekeeping?
Feeding should be minimized and only used when necessary to support the local ecosystem's carrying capacity; over-reliance on feeding can mask issues with feral bee populations and ecosystem balance.
Secrets of Sustainable Beekeeping - With Beekeeper Michael Scott
Q: What does sustainable beekeeping mean beyond just not buying bees?
It means a long-term relationship with the bees that benefits the wider bee population and the surrounding feral populations, not just the individual yard, and can include practices like brood breaks and careful management of genetics.
Long Langstroth Hive - Custom Designed, Hand Built, Hand Milled
Q: What got you interested in beekeeping in the first place?
The motivation came from health considerations, the desire to reduce sugar in the diet, and the goal of producing honey to support a family on a tight budget, which led to exploring a self-built hive to maximize honey yield while keeping costs reasonable.
"My Biggest Beekeeping Mistakes" - Lauren Doninger
Q: How do you approach mite management and winter survival?
Treat for mites year-round, recognize that local bee interaction means higher mite pressure, and implement condensing hive techniques and insulation to improve winter survival.
"My Biggest Beekeeping Mistakes" - Lauren Doninger
Q: Why do you not do cutouts, and what do you recommend instead?
I lack carpentry and repair skills for cutouts, and I recommend connecting with experienced beekeepers who perform cutouts and repairs, ensuring legal and safety considerations are met.
