  • It grew on me!

    I wasn’t sure about this podcast at first. Seemed long and drawn out, but the more I listened to it I was hooked. I like the energy between Jamie and Amy and contrast between experts. There all kinds of experts out there, and that was the whole point of this podcast. I listened to every single episode, starting from episode 1. Episode 1 is like my Rocky I. It’s very raw, and it’s my favorite.

  • The best bee podcast! Jamie Ellis is a rockstar!

    I was so sad when they stopped making episodes of Two Bees in A Podcast! I think I’ve listened to every episode. I seem to recall that it was originally designed to have rotating list of hosts, but then it just became the Jamie & Amy (Vu) Show. Loved it! It was great! I’m sure I’ll still listen to old episodes, but it feels like my best friend died! 😥😞☹️

    The hosts stay true to scientific information and don’t forget real world experience at the same time. Information does not seem biased by commercial influence. I always enjoy the show and learn something new.
