John's first day with honey bees was working for a commercial beekeeper pulling honey frames.
From the 'not real Jeff Foxworthy,' to a lengthy wild & crazy beekeeping story that includes the in-laws, to John's beekeeping journey, this episode has it all!
We discuss the annual calendar of working for a commercial beekeeper, queen rearing, advice for future beekeepers, techniques for raising queens, different varroa treatments.
Did I mention the story about splitting 700 colonies, all with extremely hot queens?! Imagine enough bees on your veil to black out the sun!
It's all about having fun while we learn about beekeeping and sharing the love of honey bees!
