I hope you enjoy my interview with Dr. Tammy Horn Potter! Using the links, you can learn more about the Beginner Beekeeping Program at Kentucky State University as well as their Small Farm Development Program.
Tammy's books include the following:
Bees in America: How the Honey Bee Shaped a Nation
Beeconomy: What Women and Bees Can Teach Us about Local Trade and the Global Market
Flower Power: Establishing Pollinator Habitat
Whenever possible, please support independent book stores; they need our business!
And, as a correction to something Tammy said about the percentage of farmers in the U.S. who are women, she sent me the census data that shows women make up 36% of the nation's farmers. I'm sorry that neither that document nor the photo of the autoclave are able to be attached here; they're both remarkable!
