  • Sounds like a God hater to me.

    Though it sounds like he has lots of good ideas, I wish he would talk more about bees and less about his hatred for God. I want to hear about bees and not his hate filled life. more

  • Top class

    The best and most informative podcast dealing with natural sustainable beekeeping from one if not the most influential TBH beekeeper, highly recommended. He deals with a number of issues that are important to bee keepers and is very candid and open in his views and is a very influential in highlighting the problems that result from modern monoculture farming practices and use of insecticides.
