Podcasts about bees

The gifts we get from spending time with the bees, learning about the bees and learning from other beekeepers are so amazing. This episode is a reflection on just some of the beauties and realizations that come with beekeeping in good years and even in not so good beekeeping years. I'd love to hear what gifts you got from your bees this year. It's the last episode of 2025 and already I look forward to meeting you back here in 2026! I'm sending a shout out and a big appreciative hug to each and ever Patron for making this podcast a reality and for each and every listener who is the reason it exists. I thank you all. kind regards, Leigh If you are not yet a supporting patron, you are warmly invited to join the folks who make the podcasts possible, who keep the archives available and who keep it all advertising-free. https://www.patreon.com/c/fiveapple/membership About Beekeeping at FiveApple: Leigh keeps bees in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina (gardening zone 6b). She cares for around a dozen hives in a rural Appalachian highland climate. Colonies are managed for bee health with active selection for vigor, genetic diversity and disease resistance, but without chemical treatments for fifteen years. The apiary is self-sustaining (not needing to buy/catch replacement bees since 2010) and produces honey and nucs most every year.

This Holiday Special episode of Beekeeping Today Podcast brings together Jeff Ott, Becky Masterman, and Dr. Jim Tew from Honey Bee Obscura, for a warm, thoughtful conversation about bees, beekeeping, and reflection during Christmas week. With a special Santa Claus opener returning for another year, the episode sets a festive tone before settling into practical winter-season observations and the deeper meaning beekeeping brings this time of year. Jim shares insights into what honey bees are doing right now in winter clusters, how beekeepers can read subtle signs of life without opening hives, and why snow can sometimes be one of the best indicators of colony survival. Becky adds perspective from northern beekeeping, discussing winter brood patterns, cleansing flights, and emerging research on winter brood rearing across the U.S. Jeff rounds out the discussion with observations from sensor data and technology-assisted hive monitoring, prompting a lively exchange on tradition versus modern tools. The episode also explores the emotional side of winter losses, beekeeper intuition, and the responsibility felt when colonies don't survive. Listener questions spark deeper discussion about how bees sense temperature and make life-or-death decisions in cold weather, reminding us how much there is still to learn about the superorganism. To close, the hosts look ahead to the North American Honey Bee Expo, thank the sponsors who make the podcast possible, and reflect on the "promise of bees" as a symbol of renewal, resilience, and hope heading into the new year.

In this episode, we sit down with Tonya Jennings and Nathan Wright from Baker College (now with a mascot: The Bees!) to explore how the institution is creating new paths for education, especially for returning students, first-gen learners, and working professionals. We kick off with a look at their innovative "Return to the Hive" program, which offers institutional debt forgiveness for former students who left Baker due to unpaid balances. Half the debt is forgiven after one term, and the rest after completing a second semester. This initiative is specifically designed to remove financial barriers and re-engage students who've been out of the system for two years or more.We shift into how Baker supports first-generation college students through its "First-Gen Bees" program, which offers guidance and community for both students and staff who are navigating college without the benefit of a parent who's been through the process. Tonya and Nathan emphasize the college's “students first” culture, which drives many of their initiatives.The conversation moves to flexible programs like the new Accelerated One-Year MBA. Fully online and built for busy professionals, it allows students to move through coursework every four weeks and earn a degree in a single year. That flexibility extends to their continuing education offerings as well. Baker boasts over 1,400 non-credit courses, covering everything from trade skills like HVAC and CDL training to lifestyle topics like gardening in small spaces. The college also partners with local employers to address skill gaps, such as creating Spanish-for-manufacturing training to help teams communicate more effectively.Looking toward the future, Baker is doubling down on high-demand fields like healthcare and technology. Nursing remains a huge focus with no waitlists across campuses, and AI integration is quickly becoming a staple within programs and classrooms. The staff shares how Baker is embracing AI not as a threat but as a tool to enhance learning and career readiness, ensuring students are equipped to use it ethically and effectively.We also hear about their summer programs for middle and high schoolers, offering structured academic engagement during the break. These camps are expanding and serve as an important on-ramp for future learners. We close with a fun segment on favorite childhood books, giving the audience a peek at the personalities behind the professionals.Baker has campuses in Royal Oak, Owosso, and online.Learn more at www.baker.edu.00:00 – Return to the Hive Debt Forgiveness02:11 – What Makes the Program Unique04:08 – Supporting First-Generation Students05:17 – Accelerated One-Year MBA06:08 – Continuing Ed & Trades Training08:02 – Summer Camps for Youth09:16 – Workforce Trends & AI Integration12:26 – AI's Role in Student Learning12:52 – Fishbowl Question: Childhood Books14:55 – How to Connect with Baker College Learn more about the Royal Oak Chamber of Commerce: https://www.royaloakchamber.com/Connect with our hosts:Jon Gay from JAG in Detroit Podcasts - http://www.jagindetroit.com/Lisa Bibbee from Century 21 Northland - http://soldbylisab.com/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Billy The Bee Grant chats to Brentford fans straight after the final whistle following defeat at the Etihad. There's a sense that the Bees looked slightly more competirive than in recent matches but ultimately Man City's quality told.We get honest fan reaction on the performance, the defensive shape, moments where Brentford held their own, and where City's class made the difference. Reflections on effort, game management and what positives can be taken despite the result, with eyes already on the next fixture. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Send us a textThe Celts had laws around bees and a custom called telling the bees. The "Celt bee laws," more accurately called the Brehon Laws' Bechbretha (Bee Judgements) in ancient Ireland, were detailed regulations from around the 7th century (though based on older customs) governing beehives, swarms, honey, and beekeeping, emphasizing community sharing, property rights (like a finder's fee for wild swarms), and recognizing bees' sacred importance as symbols of wealth, wisdom, and connection to the Otherworld. These laws detailed who got what honey from wild or domestic hives, handled disputes between neighbors, and even outlined sharing a portion of swarms to encourage wider beekeeping."Telling the bees" was and still is a folklore tradition where you inform your beehives of major life events (births, deaths, marriages) or bad news, believing it ensures the bees' prosperity and loyalty.  For a death they would drape hives in black cloth so they could participate in the mourning.   Support the showIrish Mythology - Mythical Cycle - Book of Invasions

Do Brentford's attacking issues run deeper than form?

This week on Beekeeping Today Podcast, Jeff Ott and Becky Masterman welcome AJ and Chryssa Gardner of REBEL44 to discuss an approach to beekeeping rooted in stewardship rather than production. What began as a small garden project quickly evolved into a carefully managed sideline operation now spanning multiple apiaries and more than a hundred colonies. AJ shares how observing bee behavior—and listening closely to what the bees "tell you"—shaped his management philosophy. Rather than focusing on maximizing honey yields, AJ emphasizes nutrition, gentle genetics, low mite pressure, and allowing colonies to overwinter on their own terms. That mindset has led to remarkable overwintering success and strong, resilient colonies. Chryssa adds an important perspective on food systems, honey authenticity, and why knowing the beekeeper behind the honey matters. Together, they explain how REBEL44 produces hyper-local, varietal honeys, harvested in short nectar windows that capture the unique character of specific plants, locations, and seasons. From blackberry to Japanese knotweed, each harvest tells a story. The conversation also explores their immersive educational experiences, where families, beginners, and even corporate groups suit up, step into the apiary, and reconnect with nature. AJ describes how these hands-on visits often change how people think about bees, food, and stewardship. This episode is a reminder that when beekeepers slow down, observe, and put bees first, the rewards—healthy colonies, meaningful education, and exceptional honey—follow naturally.

Some storytellers are for every season. O'Henry is one such. We grew up on his stories in English but also some of us will recall the wonderful televised adaptations of world's best stories in the series, ‘Katha Sagar'. Made in 1986, the series featured a collection of stories by writers like Katherine Mansfield, Guy de Maupassant, Leo Tolstoy, O' Henry, and Anton Chekhov. Each episode was directed by one of eight well known Indian directors, including Shyam Benegal, Kundan Shah, Ved Rahi and Satyen Bose. Most of the stories in the series were one episode long. Today's story is as much a remembrance of O'Henry as it is a hat tip to tasteful and meaningful entertainment that television used to be.Listen to Hindi kahaniyan and Urdu Kahaniyan by famous as well as lesser known writers. You will find here stories from everyone from Premchand to Ismat Chughtai ; Suryabala to Mohan Rakesh, Kaleshwar and Mannu Bhandari.

Yes, I realise it won't be summer for another week or so, but the following observations are just a few Gardeners' Tips to muck around with: Ancistrocerus gazella is an introduced “potters wasp” from Europe. It got here decades ago and is a really cute predatory wasp that does some great things in your quarter acre paradise. This little wasplet makes nice nests inside hollow tubes and then it goes on the hunt for small caterpillars, usually the leafrollers that silk your leaves together and chew from within their leaf-silk tent. Ancistrocerus paralyses the caterpillars, lays an egg on them and cements the quarry and its own potential baby inside the carefully chosen tube. Of course, the caterpillar will become food for the ectoparasite, and this helps to reduce the chewing damage on your roses, perennials and other plants. Here's a tip: create a bunch of small-diameter bamboo tubes as a choice of real estate for these wasps to live in. The accommodation runs a little bit like that of the mason wasp (who gets their kids —larvae— to feed on paralysed spiders). Frustrated Cucurbit growers (cucumbers, melons, marrow, courgettes, you name it) often complain at this time of the year that their plants simply don't set fruit at all; in fact, the plant almost exclusively produces male flowers and hardly any female flowers! Yep, common complaint. If there is a scarcity of pollinators the plant “thinks” there isn't enough pollen/there are not enough pollinators to fertilise the female flowers, so it creates more male flowers to “compensate”. A remedy that works toward solving the problem is to have a lot of Pollen and Nectar plants surrounding the cucumber/melon, etc, so that a heap of pollinating insects are constantly patrolling the area. The first female flower will then almost certainly get her turn, and the plant “knows” it's okay to produce more female flowers. If you can achieve that from mid-spring onwards, all will be well! Talking about pollinators, have a look out for the Wool Carder Bee! It's another introduced pollinating insect from Europe, and it has some quite amazing behaviours. It loves to hover and fly around the Lamiate flowers in your garden, stuff like Salvias, and lamb's ear. These types of plants are its favourite food, and it defends its patch fiercely by chasing away other pollinators – bees, bumble bees, and even wasps! It does so by dive-bombing these “interlopers” with almost Top Gun-like sorties. They will even squeeze bees and bumble bees between their abdominal segments, festooned with spikes! Gruesome stuff, especially when then mortally wound these bees. When wool carder bees start nest building, they scrape off the fine, light-coloured hairs off the leaves of certain plants (remember lamb's ear!) and work these fibres into the most delicate, soft and insulating ball that acts as nest nurseries for their larvae and pupae in development. Their name (wool carder bee) tells the story of their ability to cut off the hairs and fibres and use those resources to create brilliantly designed nests for their babies. When you point all this activity out to the kids, you'll find they will be busy observing aerial battles and dogfights, right in your back yard! I think it's worth-while to plant some lamb's ear, just for the entertainment value alone. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's a busy time of year, and not just for people. Bees are buzzing around, gathe ring nectar, laying eggs and making honey. And there's a good idea for a Christmas present - a jar of honey from a local beekeeper. First Up's Ke-Xin Li went to visit a young beekeeping prodigy in Auckland.

In this episode, I interview Ruthann Anderson, CEO of CAPCA (California Association of Pest Control Advisors). Ruthann explains that CAPCA represents licensed PCAs (Pest Control Advisors) who she describes as “plant doctors,” often recommending non-chemical solutions such as irrigation changes, soil sampling, and nutrition adjustments before turning to pesticides. They advise across agriculture, turf, ornamental, and urban environments, and CAPCA focuses on statewide education and advocacy to support the profession. She discusses challenges like public perception and inconsistent enforcement in the past. A major example is the BeeWhere program, which CAPCA helped modernize to improve communication between beekeepers and pesticide applicators to reduce bee losses, showing how collaboration across groups leads to better outcomes.We also discuss the complexity of pest management, including public health issues like rat infestations, and the misconception that agriculture uses chemicals carelessly. Ruthann mentions grant-funded work documenting over 200 examples of PCAs choosing non-chemical approaches, which CAPCA plans to publish.We also dive into United Ag's mission to transform healthcare in agriculture: simplifying access, reducing costs, and putting empathy first with zero-copay clinics in rural communities. Ruthann highlights how thoughtful decisions, whether in farming or healthcare, lead to better outcomes, and she shares how CAPCA members can leverage United Ag's network for reliable health coverage.CAPCA: https://capca.com/Kirti Mutatkar, President and CEO of UnitedAg. Reach me at kmutatkar@unitedag.org, www.linkedin.com/in/kirtimutatkarUnitedAg website - www.unitedag.orgUnitedAg Health and Wellness Centers - https://www.unitedag.org/health-benefits/united-agricultural-benefit-trust/health-centers/Episode Contributors - Ruthann Anderson, Kirti Mutatkar, Dave Visaya, Rhianna MaciasThe episode is also sponsored by Brent Eastman Insurance Services Inc. - https://brenteastman.comBlue Shield of California - https://www.blueshieldca.comElite Medical - https://www.elitecorpmed.comGallagher - https://www.ajg.com/SAIN Medical https://sainmedical.com/MDI Network - https://www.mdinetworx.com/about-us

Bees communicate by dancing to show the location of nectar sources. When researchers tricked them, the hive demonstrated awareness by ignoring false directions, revealing unexpected intelligence.

Hi Parents! Conversations about sex can be one of the most anxiety-triggering moments in parenting, and that goes for both parents and teens. Many parents worry about how to start, what to say, or how to make sure their teen feels comfortable and heard. In this episode, I'm joined by Amy Lang, founder of Birds & Bees & Kids and a certified sex educator with nearly two decades of experience helping parents navigate these conversations with confidence. Together, we explore why starting conversations about sex early helps build trust and open communication that lasts a lifetime. Amy shares simple, honest ways to approach “the talk” with calm and humor, how to respond when your teen feels anxious or shuts down, and ways to teach boys about respect and consent.  More About Amy: Amy Lang is a nationally recognized sexuality educator, speaker, and author who has spent nearly 20 years helping families have open, shame-free conversations about sex and relationships. Through her platform, Birds & Bees & Kids, and her podcast Just Say This, Amy provides practical, age-appropriate guidance that helps parents raise informed and confident young people. She's known for her humor, empathy, and ability to make even the most uncomfortable topics feel approachable.

 In this episode of the podcast, Dr. Zach Portman discusses a new paper addressing the problem of ghost records in bee data. These records often lack physical specimens, creating challenges for verifying data of bee species. Dr. Portman explains the process and complications behind collecting and verifying bee data, emphasizing the importance of preserving specimens. The conversation also delves into the implications of ghost records for conservation efforts and taxonomy, proposing that funding agencies should require proper storage plans for collected specimens. Links: Portman, Z.M., Bruninga-Socolar, B., Chase, M.H., Harrison, T., Arduser, M., Tepedino, V.J. and Cariveau, D.P., 2025.

On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on another three points at home, this time against Scott Parker's Burnley. The game looked to be heading for a boring goalless draw on what was a frustrating afternoon for Keith Andrews' side. But it burst into life in the final ten minutes, with Igor Thiago putting Brentford ahead from the spot, before being pegged back by a Burnley penalty, and then Thiago netting his second of the game and 11th of the season to put the Bees back in control. We chat about Thiago becoming the fastest player to reach double figures in the Premier League for Brentford, Keith's changes to the lineup that saw Mathias Jensen and Aaron Hickey return, and our trip to The Emirates on Wednesday night.
