Send us a textHaving the Privacy MindsetIn this episode of The Privacy & Freedom Podcast, Forrest Garvin dives into the foundation of digital privacy — the mindset. Before you install a VPN, delete social accounts, or buy a Faraday bag, you must first understand how to think privately in a world built to watch you.Forrest explains why true privacy starts with awareness, discipline, and intention — not gadgets. He exposes how corporations, governments, and data brokers profit from your every click, and why reclaiming control isn't paranoia — it's freedom. You'll learn how to shift from convenience-driven habits to privacy-driven decisions that protect your identity, assets, and peace of mind.This episode explores the psychology behind privacy — how our digital behavior reveals who we are, and how adopting a “privacy mindset” helps you take back power over your data, your finances, and your future. Forrest shows that privacy and security are not optional anymore; they are acts of freedom and the first step toward real independence.At Garvin Academy, Forrest teaches these principles in depth through his flagship course, Disappear on the Internet — a 25-hour masterclass that helps people just like you separate their real life from their digital footprint. Because when it comes to modern freedom, privacy isn't a luxury… it's survival.Listen now to learn how to build your privacy mindset — and why privacy and security are freedom, not fear.SEO Keywordsprivacy mindset, digital privacy, online security, Forrest Garvin, Garvin Academy, data protection, personal freedom, anonymous living, privacy and security, digital footprint, online surveillance, privacy awareness, privacy course, disappear on the internet  Take back control of your online privacy with Proton Mail, the world's most trusted encrypted email service.

Honey bees continue to face shifting pressures from pests, and few are as relentless as varroa mites. In this episode, Jeff and Becky talk with Washington State University graduate student Molly Quade, whose research into fighting varroa with fungi offers a promising biological alternative to traditional mite treatments. Molly studies entomopathogenic fungi—especially Metarhizium species—which naturally infect arthropods and are already used in agriculture for pest management. Her work centers on finding fungal strains that can tolerate the warm environment of a honey bee colony, one of the biggest barriers to making fungus-based varroa control viable. Through strain selection and thermal tolerance testing, Molly and her colleagues are working toward biological tools that could function inside a living hive. The conversation breaks down how fungi infect varroa without harming bees, why biological treatments may reduce resistance issues, and the practical challenges of delivering fungal spores inside the hive. Molly also shares insights on fungal interactions with bee immunity and how wax moth larvae unexpectedly support early-stage testing. For beekeepers searching for future tools to manage mites more sustainably, this episode offers a clear, engaging look at one of the most innovative research directions underway today.

"¿Deberíamos elegir la muerte por no ser capaces de olvidar nuestras discrepancias? Recuerden su humanidad y olviden", escribió Albert Einstein Te invitamos a escuchar esta conversación sobre la paz en la edad atómica, las armas de destrucción masiva y otros temas. Una historia sobre Einstein en la era atómica: el científico cuyas estructuras en la física nacieron de la necesidad de comprender el universo, no de diseñar tecnologías de guerra y muerte. ¿Cómo terminó su ecuación más famosa, E = mc², pensada para explorar la relación entre masa y energía, convertida en icono de la bomba atómica? Mucho después de que él la formulara, ciertas interpretaciones la vincularon ilegítimamente con la destrucción masiva, aunque su papel en la bomba no estuvo en la tecnología ni en el desarrollo de las armas, sino en el terreno de la asesoría política. Sabía también que el conocimiento puede mostrarnos un mundo frío y austero, donde el ser humano no goza de ningún privilegio frente a las demás fuerzas de la naturaleza. Por eso insistía en los valores, en la libertad que hace posibles a Shakespeare, Goethe, Newton, Faraday o Pasteur.

This week, Becky Masterman and guest co-host Dr. Meghan Milbrath of Michigan State University welcome Melanie Kirby, queen breeder, educator, and pollinator specialist at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Melanie shares her incredible beekeeping journey — from learning in the jungles of Paraguay as a Peace Corps volunteer, to queen rearing in Hawaii's Kona Queen and Hawaiian Queen Apiaries, to managing migratory operations across the U.S., and now mentoring new beekeepers through her 20-year-old operation, Zia Queenbees. She discusses the creation of the Adaptive Bee Breeders Alliance (adaptivebeebreedersalliance.org), a national network of researchers and queen breeders working to strengthen honey bee genetics through collaborative breeding, genomics, and germplasm conservation. The conversation touches on her Fulbright-National Geographic research, her role supporting Indigenous agricultural education at IAIA, and how art, science, and community intersect in pollinator stewardship. Melanie also offers insights into current projects on wild bee populations in New Mexico, new approaches to field research, and her ongoing efforts to translate between practical beekeeping and academic research. Her story is one of curiosity, collaboration, and a lifelong love of learning from the bees — and the people who care for them.

¡Hola, hola!✨ Qué ilusión este episodio!!!! Nos vamos a Milán con Sacyr para colarnos en la obra del Hospital Policlínico de Milán uno de los proyectos más tochos e innovadores de toda Italia

Foundations of Amateur Radio Recently I explored the use of a radio device aptly described by a fellow Aussie Electronics Engineer, "ozeng", as "Absolute witchcraft." .. I'm talking about an "RF circulator", one of which is sitting quietly on my desk, roughly 60 mm square, 30 mm thick, weighing in at just under half a kilogram, unexpectedly with a 200 year history. Let the spelunking commence .. The moment you start reading the "Circulator" Wikipedia page, you'll see this sentence: "Microwave circulators rely on the anisotropic and non-reciprocal properties of magnetised microwave ferrite material.", with a helpful reference to "Modern Ferrites, Volume 2: Emerging Technologies and Applications", a 416 page reference that promises to dig into the nitty-gritty, showing 55 hits for the word "circulator". Anisotropic you ask? It's the property that describes velvet, rub it one way, it's smooth, rub it the other way and the hair stands up on the back of your neck. Wood is another example, easier to split along the grain than across it. While we're at it, reciprocity in physics is the principle that you can swap the input and output of a linear system and get the same result. If you know me at all, it should come as no surprise that I went looking for an inventor. There's over twelve-thousand patents referring to a "circulator", including more than a handful relating to Nuclear reactors. In 1960, a prolific Jessie L Butler came up with patent US3255450A, "Multiple beam antenna system employing multiple directional couplers in the leadin", which states: "This circulator has the characteristic that energy into one port will leave another port to the exclusion of a third." If you recall, that's the exact phenomenon I used to describe the "RF circulator" on my desk. So, job done, we have our inventor. Not so fast. The patent goes on to say: "Circulators of this type are discussed in an article 'The Elements of Nonreciprocal Microwave Devices' by C.Lester Hogan in Volume 44, October 1956, issue of Proceedings of the IRE, pages 1345 to 1368." The IRE is the Institute of Radio Engineers. I found a copy of that tome, thank you worldradiohistory.com, which includes the following sentence: "Until a few years ago, all known linear passive electrical networks obeyed the theorem of reciprocity. Today several different types of passive nonreciprocal microwave networks are in practical use". A footnote refers to an article by Lord Rayleigh, "On the magnetic rotation of light and the second law of thermodynamics" and includes images of an optical one-way transmission system from 1901. In that 1901 article, Lord Rayleigh in turn refers to a paper published sixteen years earlier in which he observed that light polarisation can be made to violate the general optical law of reciprocity, using a system that consists of two so-called Nicol prisms, a crystal that can convert ordinary light into plane polarised light, invented by William Nicol in 1828. Using two prisms, arranged at a 45 degree angle, you can make light go through it in one way, but not the other. Lord Rayleigh, also known as John William Strutt, in a very sparse footnote, states: "That magnetic rotation may interfere with the law of reciprocity had already been suggested by Helmholtz." Further digging gets me to an 1856 publication of the "Handbuch der physiologischen Optik", or the handbook of the study of how the eye and brain work together, where Helmholtz says that, translated from German, "according to Faraday's discovery, magnetism affects the position of the plane of polarization." This gets us to 1845, where Michael Faraday experimentally discovered that light and electromagnetism are related. His notebook has the following sentence, paragraph 7718 written on the 30th of September 1845: "Still, I have at last succeeded in illuminating a magnetic curve or line of force and in magnetising a ray of light." Today we call that the "Faraday effect" The best part? You can read Michael Faraday's diary, right now, and see the whole thing. So, who then invented the RF circulator? From Mastodon to Circulators, to Modern Ferrites, to Nonreciprocal Microwave Devices, to Multiple beam antennas, to Magnetic Rotation, to Optical Reciprocity, to Nicol prisms, to the Faraday effect, this is the perfect example of standing on the shoulders of giants, and the result sits as a little box on my desk. Just so you don't feel left out, your mobile phone likely has one of these devices on board. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

The Adams Archive is where pattern recognition meets receipts. Host Austin Adams digs into breaking stories, legacy narratives, and the edges where media, politics, and power collide—always separating what's confirmed from what's claimed and inviting you to think critically, not just consume headlines. Summary of this episode We open with the stunning commercial launch of the Neo AI Humanoid Robot for the home, now available for pre-order. We break down the $20,000 price point, the 2026 shipping timeline, and the massive cultural shift these chore-performing, family-supportive units represent, asking what happens to traditional household roles when domestic labor is outsourced to a subscription-based machine. Next, we pivot to the impending November 1st Government Shutdown and the catastrophic threat it poses to SNAP (food stamp) benefits for 42 million Americans. We examine the economic theory suggesting this loss of subsidized demand could cause grocery prices to fall, and then analyze the alarming, viral videos circulating on social media calling for organized looting and civil unrest in response to the potential benefit cuts. We then move to the digital battlefield with Elon Musk's Grokipedia launch. By comparing the platform's entry on George Floyd with the established Wikipedia narrative, we dissect how subtle differences in nuance—such as including criminal history or contributing medical factors—dictate the historical record and shape current ideology. The debate is framed around who controls the past controls the future. Finally, we provide a crucial update on the Charlie Kirk assassination investigation, where host Austin Adams continues to follow the leads brought forth by Candace Owens, specifically scrutinizing the bizarre, post-shooting behavior of Kirk's Turning Point staffer Mike McCoy (allegedly seen immediately on a phone call) and the individual who decided to take a selfie video right after his friend was shot. We conclude by setting the stage for the Oversight Committee's verdict on Joe Biden's Auto Pen use. Key topics, in brief (with flow): AI Humanoid Robots (Neo): The commercial launch of the $20,000 home robot, its capabilities (laundry, cleaning, potential child support), and the cultural implications for marriage and the workforce. Government Shutdown & SNAP Threat: The November 1st deadline, the loss of food stamp benefits for 42 million, and the economic prediction that grocery prices will decrease if the subsidy is removed. Social Media Calls for Looting: A deep dive into the viral videos promoting organized civil war and mass theft from grocery stores in response to the SNAP cuts. Grokipedia vs. Wikipedia: Analyzing the George Floyd entries to demonstrate how narrative nuance shapes historical truth and the future of information control. Charlie Kirk Assassination Update: Scrutiny of Mike McCoy's alleged post-shooting phone call and the strange timing of a staffer's selfie video, challenging the "case closed" narrative. Joe Biden's Auto Pen Verdict: What the Oversight Committee has determined regarding the alleged use of an autopen for official documents.

Varroa mites remain the most destructive pest facing honey bees today—but a revolutionary new treatment may finally shift the balance. In this episode, Jeff Ott and Dr. Becky Masterman welcome Adam Pachl, North American Technical Manager for Bee Health at GreenLight Biosciences, to discuss Norroa, the first EPA-approved dsRNA-based treatment for Varroa mites. Norroa introduces a fundamentally new approach: instead of killing mites outright, it prevents them from reproducing. Adam explains how this RNA interference (RNAi) technology works at the molecular level, blocking the mites' ability to lay viable eggs without harming honey bees or other organisms. He also shares insights from years of field research, including trials across five U.S. states that demonstrated dramatic improvements in colony survival and mite suppression. Becky and Jeff explore the implications of this technology for beekeepers of all scales—from hobbyists managing a few hives to large-scale commercial operations—and how Norroa fits into an integrated pest management strategy. The discussion covers everything from timing of application, compatibility with other treatments, and safety testing, to potential future uses of RNAi against pests like Tropilaelaps. For the first time in decades, beekeepers may have a tool that targets Varroa precisely and safely—without collateral damage to the bees they're fighting to protect.

It's harvest season—and for many beekeepers, that means it's time to sell honey! In this week's episode, Jeff Ott and Dr. Becky Masterman dig into the rewarding (and sometimes sticky) process of marketing and selling your honey crop. From fall festivals to farm stands, Becky shares her experiences at local events, state fairs, and new retail partnerships, including the launch of her own MastermanApiaries.com website. Jeff talks about scaling Olympia Honey Company and how local markets, branding, and customer relationships have helped him create a sustainable beekeeping business. Together, they explore the fun, challenges, and lessons learned from turning raw honey into a community connection. The discussion also covers labeling requirements, state regulations, setting retail and wholesale prices, and leveraging AI tools to design labels, calculate pricing, and even develop marketing materials. Becky reveals how ChatGPT helped her brainstorm creative honey names and brand ideas, while Jeff explains how AI-generated mockups led to the final design for Olympia Honey's logo. Listeners will pick up practical advice for pricing honey fairly, building repeat customers, and turning a seasonal product into a sustainable business—while avoiding the pitfalls of “free honey” and other online hiccups. Whether you sell a few jars or a few hundred, this episode will inspire you to embrace the business of bees with confidence and creativity.

I sat down with R. Blank, CEO of Shield Your Body and author of Empowered, to cut through the EMF noise with clear science and practical steps. If you've ever wondered what EMF actually is, what's hype vs. real risk, and how to reduce exposure without abandoning modern tech, this conversation is for you.R. breaks down ionizing vs. non-ionizing radiation, why your cell phone is the #1 avoidable source, and the “distance × time” rule that drives smarter habits. We get tactical: building a low-EMF bedroom (no phones, battery-powered alarm clocks, low-blue rechargeable lamps), why a meter beats guesswork, when to de-energize a circuit at night, safer audio (air-tubes over AirPods), and how to configure your phone radios (airplane mode, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth off when you don't need them). We also compare shielding products vs. Faraday gear, when apparel makes sense (travel and high-density environments), and how to think about privacy tools like Faraday wallets and laptop sleeves.If you want data-backed, low-friction ways to protect sleep, focus, and long-term health without quitting your devices, you'll love this one.

In this special Beekeeping Today Podcast roundtable, Jeff Ott and Dr. Becky Masterman gather an inspiring group of regional beekeepers from across the U.S. to share how their colonies fared through the 2025 season and what they're doing to prepare for winter. Joining the table are Ang Roell (They Keep Bees, Massachusetts), Bonnie Morse (Bonnie Bee & Company, California), Duane Combs (Arizona Beekeepers LLC), Jay Williams (Williams Honey Farm, Tennessee), and Paul Longwell (Washington). Each regional voice brings a unique perspective on this year's challenges—heat and drought in the Southwest, unpredictable blooms in the Pacific Northwest, and extended broodless periods complicating Varroa management across the country. In response to listener Brian Schmitz's question, “What does your overwintering hive look like?”, these experienced beekeepers describe how their hive setups differ by region—from Ang's double-deeps and Warre hives with insulation and mountain camp feeding, to Jay's “3:2” ratio overwintering in wrapped medium supers, to Duane's Arizona colonies managing through both heat and rain cycles. Later, they discuss what didn't go as planned—queen mating failures, volatile weather, and high mite counts—and what they're most looking forward to in 2026. From germplasm banking and bee breeding projects to bee meditation programs and rare honey production, this lively conversation captures the diversity and innovation within today's beekeeping community.

Fall is one of the most critical times in the beekeeping calendar, and in this episode Jeff and Becky welcome Jim Tew of Honey Bee Obscura for a lively and practical discussion about preparing colonies for winter. The conversation starts with a listener's question about quilt boxes—what to put in them, how they work, and whether wood shavings, insulation, or even moisture boards are best. Jim, Jeff, and Becky share their own experiences and lessons learned about managing moisture and heat in the hive, with some humorous nods to past beekeeping misadventures. From there, the group dives into fall priorities: ensuring colonies have adequate food reserves, considering when and how to feed syrup or fondant, and combining weak colonies before winter. Becky shares her “Frankenstein hive” approach, Jim reflects on decades of overwintering practices, and Jeff offers perspective from the damp Pacific Northwest. The trio also debate ventilation, moisture management, and whether or not to requeen this late in the season. As always, the discussion mixes science, experience, and a touch of humor—reminding beekeepers that fall is the last big chance to set colonies up for survival. The episode wraps with a look ahead to January's North American Honey Bee Expo in Louisville, where Jim, Jeff, and Becky will be together at the Beekeeping Today Podcast booth. This is a timely, information-packed conversation for anyone wondering what to do in the final weeks before winter truly sets in.

Don't have time for terrible ❤️

Are the most important breakthroughs in physics deliberately hidden? In this deep, unfiltered conversation, Prof. Simon returns to explore how advanced physics may have been locked away since WWII — from zero-point energy and plasma stealth to the classified “black world” of defense research. We revisit legendary test pilot Dan Isbell's extraordinary UAP encounters and the physics they suggest, and we ask: Has mainstream science been steered off course for decades? Topics we explore: – Why WWII and the Manhattan Project may have shifted physics into secrecy – Test pilot insights on exotic craft, plasma sheathing, and zero-point energy – The quantum vacuum vs. the old “ether” — and why the words changed – Suppressed experiments from Faraday to Tesla to Chris Chiba today – Passive radar, Gorgon Stare, and citizen-built detection networks – The real split between mundane UAPs and the 5% that defy known physics – Consciousness, remote viewing, and the idea of a connected universe This is a rigorous but open-minded discussion for anyone serious about UAPs, advanced propulsion, and the future of physics.

In this episode of Beekeeping Today Podcast, Jeff and Becky sit down with East Coast beekeeper and innovator Jim Fischer, the creator of Fischer's Bee-Quick. Known for its pleasant almond-cherry aroma, Bee-Quick was developed as a safer alternative to harsh chemical repellents for removing honey from supers. Jim shares how his father challenged him to “solve the problem” of the dreaded butyric acid, leading him to experiment with aromatics until he distilled a solution that worked for both bees and beekeepers. Beyond Bee-Quick, Jim's story weaves through decades of beekeeping experience: starting with two retirement gift hives in Virginia, scaling up to pollination along the Blue Ridge Parkway, and later pioneering rooftop beekeeping in Manhattan. He talks candidly about fall splits, queen management, and his practical philosophy that favors simple approaches over complex “desperation moves.” Jim also describes working with biodynamic certification, his memories of Richard Taylor and Ross Rounds, and the realities of keeping bees in an urban setting. Whether you're curious about the origins of Bee-Quick, strategies for overwintering nucs, or the logistics of rooftop hives overlooking Central Park, this wide-ranging conversation offers insights, humor, and practical advice from a beekeeper who has seen—and done—a little bit of everything.

In this milestone 350th episode of Beekeeping Today Podcast, Jeff Ott and Becky Masterman welcome Vikki Atkinson of Pennsylvania to share her deep experience managing over 100 Top-Bar hives. Vikki walks listeners through the unique design of Top-Bar hives, from follower boards and shims to the angled sides that encourage natural comb building. She explains how handling bars like a “steering wheel” prevents comb breakage, and why level placement is critical to success. With candor and clarity, she outlines both the advantages—lighter lifts, less colony disturbance, and beautiful natural comb—and the challenges, including cross-comb management and the lack of standardized equipment. The discussion ranges from honey harvest methods (from crush-and-strain to using extractors with creative adaptations) to overwintering strategies with rigid insulation, to managing Varroa through genetics, VSH queens, and careful testing. Vikki shares how she transitioned from a beginner fascinated by Les Crowder's book to running a thriving Top-Bar operation and mentoring others. Whether you're curious about trying a Top-Bar hive, or simply want fresh insights into honey bee biology beyond Langstroth boxes, this conversation offers practical lessons, inspiration, and a celebration of the diversity of modern beekeeping.

⚠️ The Collapse Chronicles – Episode: World War 3

In this episode, Jeff and Becky welcome Dave Mullins of Bee Great, based in Churubusco, Indiana. Dave shares how a hobby with his father in 2014 grew into a dynamic beekeeping business now managing 150 hives, a thriving retail store, and a diverse line of honey and bee-inspired products. From flavored honeys and goat milk soaps to international exports, Bee Great has become a model of creativity and adaptability in the beekeeping world . Dave describes his journey from professor to full-time beekeeper and entrepreneur, offering candid insights into product development, branding, and customer service. He discusses lessons learned at farmers markets, the importance of transparency in labeling, and how community support during the COVID pandemic helped sustain and grow the business. He also reflects on balancing innovation—like Cajun and wasabi hot honey—with the challenges of scaling responsibly while staying true to a family-centered mission. Listeners will find inspiration in Dave's story of persistence, ingenuity, and passion for bees. His experiences highlight the possibilities—and realities—of turning beekeeping into a business while still keeping the heart of the practice rooted in service, education, and connection.

In this episode, Jeff and Becky welcome Indiana beekeeper Dave McComb to share his journey from inheriting one defensive hive in 2018 to managing over 100 colonies, producing honey, nucs, and queens with remarkable success. Dave explains how he quickly immersed himself in beekeeping education, adopted single-deep hive management, and built an operation known for exceptionally low winter losses. Beyond management techniques, Dave opens up about his business growth, from building a website and learning social media outreach to creating innovative honey products—like single-serve honey packets for athletes, inspired by his years as a competitive cyclist. He also discusses the value of honey shows, where his award-winning creamed honey has earned recognition at the state, national, and ABF levels. Whether you're curious about improving colony survival, queen management, or expanding your beekeeping into a thriving sideline business, Dave's story is full of inspiration and practical takeaways.

⚡ Collapse Chronicles – Episode: Alien Invasion

Dr. Lewis Bartlett returns to Beekeeping Today Podcast to share the latest science on honey bee health, pest management, and the evolving challenges beekeepers face worldwide. In this wide-ranging conversation, Lewis dives into how shifting climates, global trade, and emerging pests are reshaping the landscape for beekeeping. He explores the role of integrated pest management, the importance of genetic diversity in colonies, and why maintaining flexibility is essential for long-term success. A highlight of the discussion focuses on the yellow-legged hornet — a newly arrived invasive predator in the U.S. Lewis explains its biology, how it differs from the Asian giant hornet, and what early detection efforts are underway to prevent it from establishing. He emphasizes the need for beekeeper vigilance and public reporting to help slow its spread before it becomes a permanent threat to honey bees and native pollinators. Listeners will also gain insights into how research priorities are shifting in response to these challenges, and how beekeepers can take actionable steps today to prepare for tomorrow's realities.

In this week's episode, Jeff and Becky welcome back fourth-generation commercial beekeeper John Miller for a candid conversation about the challenges—and potential—facing the beekeeping industry today. With his decades of experience and generational insight, John doesn't hold back on concerns about low honey prices, rising input costs, invasive pests like tropilaelaps, and the closure of critical research facilities like USDA's Beltsville Bee Lab. John offers a front-line view of what it means to be a commercial beekeeper in 2025 and why he describes the current moment as “swimming with piranha.” He also speaks passionately about the importance of collaboration across beekeeper “silos”—commercial, sideliner, and hobbyist alike—and about the hope he sees in new leadership, community engagement, and research-backed innovation through organizations like Project Apis m. Whether you manage a few colonies or a few thousand, this episode offers a sobering but motivating reminder of the shared challenges beekeepers face—and why now is the time to come together and act.
