  • All about honeybees

    Hello I would love to be on your podcast. Something a little different. I have developed a rather unique beehive nest box beehive. And system of beekeeping. Developed primarily for my own investigation of honeybees I have evolved a system like no other. Resulting in bees that are less stressed. Thus happier and healthier. Hope to hear from you soon.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Nick Cutsumpas aka Farmer Nick on gardening, sustainability and plant based living.
Q: What's the one starter step you'd recommend for someone looking to start growing their own food sustainably?
Begin small with something like beans or microgreens on a sunny window, then expand gradually as you taste and see the results, while learning to minimize waste and maximize soil health.
Nick Cutsumpas aka Farmer Nick on gardening, sustainability and plant based living.
Q: But the first thing we have to do, like, take us back to where it all began for you. What first inspired you to do what you do?
The story starts with a personal shift after college: moving from a green suburban life to a tiny apartment in NYC led me to bring plants indoors, which grew into a landscape design career and a broader commitment to plant-based living and environmental stewardship.
Right Plant Right Place with the owner of Creake Abbey and Plant Lovers Day
Q: How can gardeners determine the best location for a plant in their own space?
Start by observing sun exposure, wind, and moisture, then assess soil type with simple tools like a soil meter; test different microclimates within the garden and choose plants known to tolerate those conditions to reduce maintenance and increase success.
Right Plant Right Place with the owner of Creake Abbey and Plant Lovers Day
Q: What does Right Plant Right Place mean and why is it fundamental to gardening success?
It means matching a plant to its optimal light, soil, moisture, and microclimate, rather than forcing a plant into a space it cannot thrive in; doing so prevents plants from dying after being taken home, and leads to more resilient, long-lasting gardening results.
AI Talking Plants Exhibition with Cambridge University Botanic Garden
