  • 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.

Beekeeping On Orcas Island With Beekeeper Brian Schmitz
Q: I promise, listeners, we're not going to get too far off track of beekeeping, but what is a Salmon tournament and how do you win it?
Brian explains that the Salmon Derby is a paid-entry competition to catch the biggest king salmon over a couple of days; he won it by catching the biggest fish and earned checks.
Fake Honey • 70% Bee Loss • ABF President Debbie Seib

Live From NAHBE Interview With Josh Scott - Seasoned Beekeeper
Q: What do you recommend for beginners regarding learning resources?
Start with Beekeeping for Dummies as a foundational book, then look to trusted names and mentors in your area, while also using YouTube as a supplementary resource to see multiple methods and find what resonates.
Live From NAHBE Interview With Josh Scott - Seasoned Beekeeper
Q: How did you get into beekeeping in the first place?
I started about five years ago during the pandemic when I was stuck at home; my mother-in-law mentioned a nucleus of bees, and that sparked my learning journey, leading me to read extensively and keep my first nuke in 2020.
How to Make Money Selling Honey, While Balancing Family Life and Beekeeping
Q: What are some mistakes you've seen people make when starting a beekeeping business?
Not pricing honey high enough, failing to account for all costs (labels, lids, safety seals, honey production time), and not establishing a clear target audience from the start; also, a lack of formal business or marketing education can lead to avoidable mistakes, though solving those gaps can lead to better long-term strategies.
