Moving package bees across North America is a specialized business that most beekeepers never see firsthand. In this episode, Jeff and Becky welcome Chris Hansen of Rhinelander, Wisconsin, a longtime beekeeper, bee supplier, and professional package bee hauler, to discuss the unique challenges of transporting thousands of honey bees safely across the country. Chris shares how his beekeeping journey began nearly thirty years ago and how a small sideline operation gradually expanded into bee sales, a beekeeping supply business, and eventually a dedicated package bee transportation company. What started as a necessity to move his own bees evolved into a specialized service trusted by beekeepers throughout the United States. The conversation explores the science and logistics of package bee transportation, including airflow management, temperature control, loading and unloading procedures, route planning, driver coordination, and the importance of minimizing stress on the bees during transit. Chris explains how years of experience and trial-and-error led to the development of specialized trailers designed specifically to move large numbers of package bees safely over long distances. Chris also discusses the realities of operating a trucking business, including fuel costs, regulatory requirements, equipment investments, driver recruitment, and the responsibility that comes with transporting living livestock. Along the way, he shares lessons learned from early failures and the continual refinements that have improved bee survival and package quality. Before the interview, Jeff and Becky discuss honey super timing, spring nectar flows, colony growth, swarm prevention, and answer a listener question about common misconceptions among third-year beekeepers. Whether you manage two colonies or two thousand, this episode provides a fascinating look behind the scenes at one of the least-discussed but most essential parts of modern beekeeping.

Chris Hansen is an Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist best known for creating and hosting To Catch a Predator. For decades, he has exposed criminal behavior, educated the public about online safety, and helped bring predators to justice through meticulous investigative work. In this episode, Travis reflects on his conversation with Chris and shares some of the most impactful lessons from Hansen's career—from the importance of real-world experience and direct communication to ethical journalism and building independent media platforms. On this episode we talk about: Why real-world experience can be more valuable than traditional education The power of simple, direct communication when pitching ideas How education and awareness help prevent online exploitation Why owning your own platform creates greater freedom and impact The critical difference between ethical journalism and online vigilantism Top 3 Takeaways The best education often comes from real-life experiences that expose you to different people, perspectives, and challenges—not just classrooms and textbooks. Clear, direct communication cuts through confusion and helps people understand and act on important ideas more effectively. Building trust requires discipline, ethics, and a commitment to doing things the right way, even when shortcuts might generate more attention. Notable Quotes "The best education isn't always in a classroom." "Sometimes the right move is to strip all the polish off and say the thing that nobody else is willing to say." "You can't arrest your way out of the problem."

Welcome to Multiverse News, your source for information about all your favorite fictional universes.Marvel dropped the first full trailer for X-Men '97 Season 2 this week, confirming a July 1 premiere on Disney+ and Apocalypse as the season's central threat. The nine-episode season picks up from the Season 1 finale with the X-Men scattered across time from ancient Egypt to the far future, while those left behind in the '90s work to bring them back, with the trailer also sneaking in a Morph-as-Deadpool shapeshifting moment for good measure.

As Chris Hansen continues to spread the word and educate parents on the dangers that social media and gaming platforms could have to children, a recent landmark verdict against these big tech companies might just be shifting the narrative. On this episode of Have a Seat with Chris Hansen, Joseph VanZandt, an attorney with the Beasley Allen Law Firm leading the national social media litigation, joins Chris to discuss the recent ruling in favor of his client to the tune of 3 million dollars. The California jury found in favor of “Kaley's” claims that the compulsive and obsessive use of social media starting as a young child, led to years of depression and anxiety, and that Google and Meta were to pay damages. Hansen and VanZandt hope that this is a step in the right direction of holding these companies responsible and that it is the start of signifiant changes when it comes to the safety of our children on social media.

In this special episode of Into the Sheriff's Spotlight, we're joined by investigative journalist and To Catch a Predator and Takedown host, Chris Hansen, for an in-depth conversation on online predators and the collaborative work with law enforcement that helps catch these individuals and protect our communities. Listener discretion is advised. This episode contains discussion of crimes involving minors that may be disturbing to some viewers.
On this episode of Have a Seat, Chris Hansen talks with Sean O'Brien, General President of the Teamsters, the storied labor union that was founded in 1903. The two have a candid conversation about a recent crimes against children investigation they did together in Michigan, how the Teamsters can help combat human trafficking, the threat autonomous vehicles will have on the work force, unionizing Amazon drivers, and why unions are still extremely necessary in this country. They also reflect on O'Brien's infamous senate exchange with now HSI director Markwayne Mullin, and his thoughts on what really happened to Jimmy Hoffa.

Joshua Ryan Simpson is an alleged predator that was caught in a Blount County, Alabama investigation. He is known for being one of only three men to get completely naked during a Chris Hansen sting. At the time, he stated that he was a maintenance worker at a chicken plant, fixing the chicken incubation machines, and had been employed there for four weeks. He also had a twelve-year-old daughter, only three years younger than the decoy he came to meet. Simpson had been messaging a decoy run by the Blount County Sheriff's Office who he believed to be a fifteen-year-old girl. When Simpson arrived to the sting house after over an hour drive, he was greeted by the decoy and he gave her the money that he had promised. The decoy also told him that he would have to "make good on [his] deal first." The deal that Simpson had agreed to in the chat was for him to get completely naked as soon as he arrived to the house. Simpson began undressing and asked the decoy if she would also "take something off," but she refused. Simpson then spent about 35 seconds in complete silence slowly taking off his clothes in the kitchen. A thud could be heard, possibly police or the camera crew causing it, which raised Simpson's suspicions, but the decoy attributed it to a smoke detector. After Simpson was completely naked, Chris walked out stating, "Well you know how to make yourself right at home, don't ya?"

On this episode of Have a Seat with Chris Hansen, Chris is joined by Larry Stein, famed entertainment attorney and lawyer for actor and director Timothy Busfield. The Emmy Award winning Busfield has recently been accused of inappropriately touching two child actors on the set of The Cleaning Lady on which he was the director. A Bernalillo County, NM grand jury indicted Busfield on four counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor, to which the Thirtysomething star pleaded not guilty. Stein passionately breaks down the evidence in this case, or lack thereof, relays what Busfield says really happened, reveals new information and the criminal history of the mother and father of the two boys, and argues that this case is a clear demonstration of prosecutorial misconduct. If you have been following the case against Timothy Busfield, this is an episode Have a Seat you won't want to miss!

On this episode of Have a Seat with Chris Hansen, Chris has a candid conversation with Kristi Goncalves, mother of Kaylee Goncalves, one of the victims in the Idaho college student murders. Kristi reveals new details on the case, her thoughts on the investigation, the plea deal and the still remaining unanswered questions. The two also discuss that while the court proceedings are over, the family still continues to be the victim of online trolls, hateful comments, and subjected to the release of crime scene photos. But through tragedy comes strength in family and faith and new-found advocacy with the newly created Kaylee Goncalves Foundation: Murder Has a Name and the recently passed law banning crime scene photos in the state of Idaho to be released to anyone other than the victims family.

"Like I said, I lost my mind." ―Juan's reason for trying to molest a minor Juan Carlos Guzman is a predator who was caught in the Polk County, Florida sting. Juan immigrated from Puebla, Mexico to the United States in 2004, setting up a life for himself with his wife in Hollywood, Florida. Juan, thirty-nine at the time of the sting, initiated a chat with a sheriff's decoy posing as a fourteen-year-old girl. He lied about his age by one year, claiming to be thirty-eight. Although he initially acknowledged she was too young when she said she wasn't eighteen, Juan's fears quickly subsided. He asked the decoy if she was "looking for friends, boyfriend, or sugar daddy?" claiming he was "looking for just hanging out and having fun." He would profess he could "teach [her] anything [she] wants," hoping the decoy wouldn't tell anyone. The decoy denied this, claiming that her mother would not be pleased. When the Sheriff's decoy gave Juan an out, he kept talking to the decoy "little by little," declaring he would like to be the girl first. Juan's chat got progressively more explicit, at one point sending pornographic images of himself to the decoy, as well as asking her if her mother ever checked her phone, which the decoy denied. He would describe in detail the sexual acts he wanted to perform, such as kissing the decoy's breasts, describing their size as "perfect," and attempting to solicit the decoy for naked pictures. When the decoy claimed her mother was away at work, Juan made the three-hour drive from Hollywood to Kissimmee, making a stop at a gas station to pick up condoms, beef jerky, and Fanta orange. When Juan arrived, he was arrested by the Sheriff's deputies. Hilariously, despite being threatened at gunpoint, Juan continued to casually chew the gum in his mouth as he was arrested and searched, with his phone being seized by the arresting officers. Detectives interviewed Juan before Chris entered the room.

On this episode of Have a Seat with Chris Hansen, Chris talks with former narcotics and S.W.A.T officer and body language analysis instructor, now turned content creator, Derek Baker. Agent D Baker has been investigating and covering the case of the Gulf Coast Stapleton's - married couple Brittani and Josh Stapleton who documented their lavish lifestyle to followers, but what was hiding underneath the facade of social media would catch up with them. A tip sparked an investigation into Josh Stapleton that revealed he had downloaded and sent child sexually abusive material (CSAM) from 2018-2020 that would lead to him pleading guilty to 20 counts of sexual exploitation of children. He is currently serving his 5 years and upon release will be on probation for 15 years. But it's what his wife Brittani Stapleton had been doing on line that leaves everyone shocked!

In this exclusive episode of Have a Seat with Chris Hansen, Chris talks with ethical hacker and cybersecurity expert Ryan Montgomery for an eye-opening and informative session you won't want to miss. Montgomery, founder of Pentester, the leading cybersecurity technology platform, talks about how he got his start in combating on-line attackers including uncovering an underground site ran by politician Nathan Larson. Montgomery's pleas about Larson to the media and law enforcement fell on deaf ears until Larson was later arrested for kidnapping and sexually assaulting an underaged child, a crime that could have been avoided if Montgomery's findings were taken seriously. But it was that determination and drive to protect children that founded Pentester and how law enforcement can now utilize his technology to find victims of human trafficking. This mega episode highlights the latest crimes against children, a show-and-tell of information available on line about YOU and what you can do to keep yourself safe from hackers, the latest products to prevent cyber-breaches and devices that can save your life in a disaster, as well as discussions and thoughts on the Epstein files and even the Nancy Guthrie case! Hansen and Montgomery leave no topic off the table; from sextortion, to Roblox, to 764, no group or threat against a child is safe from the duo of Ryan Montgomery and Chris Hansen.

Chris confronts a predator who should have known better—but didn't stop anyway. When 25-year-old Brien Terry is caught in a Marion County sting after pursuing what he believed was a 14-year-old girl, the case quickly reveals something more troubling than a single bad decision: a pattern. What begins as defiance turns into a tense, psychological unraveling—excuses, contradictions, and ultimately a moment of raw remorse. But as Chris digs deeper into Terry's past, one question lingers: when someone has already faced consequences for crossing this line… why do they come back? A chilling look at repetition, rationalization, and the dangerous mindset of a predator who knew exactly what he was risking—and did it anyway.

Chris Hansen drops by the studio to talk about his new documentary and much more. They kick it off by talking about how anti-ethical both terrorists and predators are to most people's vision for their lives.

On this episode of Have a Seat, Chris Hansen is joined by Chief Legal Officer and Litigation Director of Gold Law, Spencer Kuvin. In 2005 Kuvin represented the first known victim of Jeffrey Epstein whose report to Palm Beach Police Department kicked off the investigation and later exposed Epstein's sex trafficking ring. Kuvin and Hansen discuss the missed opportunities and warning signs of that first case, Kuvin's face to face interactions with Epstein during his depositions and the co-conspirators yet to be prosecuted. They also dive into the suspicions surrounding Epstein's death and the recent revelations about the guards who were supposed to be watching him that night.

Christan Medina is notable for having called five separate Ubers to pick up a 14-year-old child for sex, wanting to do BDSM things with the 14-year-old, and for making her call him, "Master." Medina was caught in a sting by Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office. Instead of making an excuse for not knowing her age, he instead just said, "How do I know she's 14?" and that there was no way to know she was 14, despite the decoy stating it. Medina throughout the episode continually places blame on anyone and any system and refuses to take responsibility for any of his actions.

On this episode of Have a Seat with Chris Hansen, Chris is joined by Martin County, Florida Sheriff John Budensiek to talk about the harrowing case of two underaged sisters who were groomed on Roblox and eventually kidnapped by a man from Nebraska. For Hours went by and the family and law enforcement had no word, no leads, no clues, but it was a tech-savvy and quick thinking detective that cracked the case and eventually led to the mans arrest and girl's safe return home. The suspect, Hset Mu Lah Say is now facing charges from two states as well as federal prosecution, but this case and the ‘happy-ending' needs to be heard by every parent or guardian with a child that is active on-line as they are always at risk of being groomed by another looking to do them harm.

On this episode of Have a Seat with Chris Hansen, Hansen is continuing his investigation into Roblox, the on-line gaming platform that is at the center of controversy surrounding lax measures to keep children safe from predators. Chris is joined by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton as he too has filed suit against the mega-gamer for not protecting children, not disclosing crimes, and is asking for statutory damages for their security actions, or lack thereof. Multiple cases have come to light in Paxton's state of Texas that struck a chord with him and his office, which he discusses with Hansen as the instigation of the lawsuit. The two also deliberate on what it will take to make kids safe on Roblox, who is culpable in the crimes against children both on the gaming platform and on chat sites like Discord, and how you can keep your kids safe on-line.

Eric Lee is an alleged predator that was caught in a Blount County, Alabama investigation. At the time of the sting, Lee had been living in or around Centerpoint, Alabama with his mother. He worked as a mechanic at a car dealership. Lee had been communicating with a decoy posing as the aunt to a fifteen-year-old girl. He asked the decoy for a picture of her face or body. The aunt told Lee that her niece's age was fifteen, to which Lee stated, "That's cool. Fifteen's my fantasy." The decoy asked Lee if he would have sex with the girl, with Lee replying, "Yeah, I'm gonna fuck her good. I've got some good dick." He also asked if he could "eat some ass." He offered to bring marijuana to the house to give to the minor girl. Lee agreed to the proposition of having sex with the minor girl for $200. Lee arrived to the sting house and was greeted by the two decoys at the door. After they exited, Lee said to himself, "Oh, I forgot the condoms in the car." Chris then emerged to confront him.
