  • I love this show!

    This has been a lifesaver for me. I’m a hobby beekeeper with the memory of a fish and bad ADHD. Every late February when I go into my hives again after winter it’s like I’ve forgotten everything and have to start all over again. This guy is so clear in his explanations and he helps remind me of the stuff that I already know, plus teaches me some new stuff too. l love that I can listen when I drive from one place to another. I am addicted- I can’t stop listening!
