Podcasts about crown bees

On this episode of TLC, Tend Life Community podcast as we uncork a bottle of delicious Washington wine from Darby Winery, and dive into the buzzing world of bee facts and conservation with none other than Dave Hunter, the founder of Crown Bees. In this special episode we're not just talking about any bees; we're uncovering the secrets of the solitary cavity-nesting bees (mason bees), the unsung heroes of pollination. Dave shares fascinating insights into the bee's species, how these bees can transform your garden and landscape, brining balance to nature where more pollinated plants produce more food with sustainably managed solitary bees and wild native bees. Forget what you thought you knew about bees they are not all the same. So, grab a glass, settle in, and join us for an episode that is definitely “buzz” worthy.

Everyone knows about honey bees, but did you know the world of bees is so much bigger than that? Joining the show today is Dave Hunter of Crown Bees. Dave is the Bee Man! He was full of information about different types of solitary bees, native to the many different environments of North America and abroad. We talked about how bees are a wonder to gardeners beyond just honey, and why we all need to be growing our own local variety of solitary bees.

Developing a relationship between primary pollinators and growers. In This Podcast: Realizing that his apple trees were barely producing compared to his neighbors, Dave Hunter found the answer was mason bees.  His hobby increased his harvest, and eventually his new passion developed into a brand-new industry and a new company. Now he is working hard to educate how mason bees and leaf cutter bees are a significant pollination solution. His goal is to build more native bee industries around the world.  Don't miss an episode!

Kirsten interviews Dave Hunter, founder and owner of Crown Bees and Heather Harvey of Bees Gone Wild.  We talk all about solitary native bees.  Did you know that North America has 4,000 native species of bees and none produces honey? You can cheaply and easily raise native hole-nesting bees that are gentle and are far more efficient pollinators than honeybees.  This podcast is a call to ACTION. Find out how to help native bees, improve your harvests, and make sure that pollinators (and therefore we) survive.  You still have plenty of time to get bees settled in your yard and garden this summer.

I’m thrilled to have Dave Hunter, the founder of Crown Bees on the show to talk about pollinators and how important they are for our environment. Dave is a native bee expert that shares so much information about pollination, bees in general, why the honey bee might not be the king of the bee world as we know it, and how we can help pollinators continue to help our local environments literally bloom and grow. Pollinators are something I knew little about and Dave really walks us through everything we need to know about them. In this episode we learn: What pollinators are, and why they are important Why the Honey Bee might not be the most effective pollinator How many types of bees there are, and what they do How do bees pollinator flowers What is a native bee Why are bees threatened?

Learn how the simple mason bee can be incredibly powerful in our backyard gardens and in helping farmers around the world. These gentle creatures are much lower maintenance than a honeybee and yet, they can do just as much if not more to pollinate our food. In fact, they can boost our backyard food growing yields with just a few bees. In this episode, host Theresa Loe interviews Dave Hunter of Crown Bees to shed some light on this important topic. You learn: Why these gentle bees are so valuable to us, The differences between honeybees and mason bees, The mason bee's secret to massive pollination, Why it's important to ID what makes holes in your garden plants, How mason bees can be like zucchini (LOL), How we can participate in a citizen science project to help bees and farmers around the world, and the easy way you can raise and share these bees with friends. As always, you can get a ton of more information at www.LivingHomegrown.com/94 as well as a full transcript of the episode. 

In this episode, Dave Hunter of Crown Bees discusses the difference between native bees and honey bees; how mason bees help reduce stress on the troubled honey bee; raising mason bees; and how landscape contractors can use bee houses in their designs. In addition, he talks about the decline in bees and what we can do about it.

Many of us have heard of the decline of bee populations, which play a crucial role in our food supply chain as pollinators. The situation is very disturbing, but today on Terra Verde, we try not to dwell so much on the somber side of the story. Instead, we'll delve into the positive and proactive efforts of bee stewards—people who know about, care about, and care for bees. Our three guests are busy working on projects that promote the vitality of various kinds of bees. Listen in as hosts Laura Garzon Chica and Jason Mark talk to Bill Tomaszewski of Marin Bee Company, Gretchen LeBuhn of The Great Sunflower Project, and Dave Hunter of Crown Bees and the Pollinator Support Movement.
