  • 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.

Challenges of Beekeeping In Wildfire Area
Q: How did you transition from a hobbyist to a commercial operation, and what were the pivotal moments?
The move happened gradually through swarm work, learning from failures, borrowing equipment, dealing with a major fire, and finally expanding into a structured business with infrastructure and regular pollination work.
Challenges of Beekeeping In Wildfire Area
Q: So what's an average day like for you now as a full-time beekeeper in this unique setup?
An average day involves managing hives across multiple sites, dealing with variable conditions from fires to weather, and constantly reorganizing operations to keep bees healthy while meeting honey production goals.
Scottish Beekeeper Allergic to Stings
Q: Would you please tell everybody, two-word answer, how do you find lost hive tools?
Cut the grass or use a lawnmower/strimmer to expose the tools, and then you often find them by trimming or moving the grass. It's a quick two-word approach that helps locate tools after misplacing them.
How to Build a Beekeeping Business - Young Entrepreneur Tells All
Q: So anyway, but Jeremy's got a great story. Let's start with a little bit of your background. When did you get into beekeeping and why?
Jeremy explains he started about 15 years ago, as a teenager seeking a job and a way to fund his lifestyle, but quickly fell in love with the bees and the work, realizing it was more than a quick money scheme and turning into a serious passion and business.
Varroa Mites In Australia - Flow Hive's Cedar Anderson
Q: How does Flow Hive influence beekeeping practices in the context of Varroa?
Flow Hive enables frame-level harvesting, which allows isolates flavors and targeted management; it provides practical benefits for beekeepers during treatment and harvest cycles, and supports more nuanced beekeeping strategies.
