What can nearly two decades of beekeeper-reported data tell us about colony health—and what can it not tell us? In this episode, Jeff Ott and Becky Masterman welcome Dr. Geoff Williams, Dr. Nathalie Steinhauer, and Dr. Agostina Giacobino to discuss the 2026 U.S. Beekeeping Survey and its continuity after the closure of the Bee Informed Partnership. The team explains why annual colony-loss rates function much like a mortality or turnover measure rather than a direct count of the nation's living colonies. Preliminary 2025–26 results suggest losses improved from the exceptionally difficult previous two years, yet the national annual estimate remained near 40 percent. One in three responding commercial beekeepers reported losing more than half their colonies—sobering numbers even in a comparatively better year. Nathalie and Agostina describe how consistent questions make long-term comparisons possible, while new dashboards help beekeepers, researchers, inspectors, and extension professionals explore management trends. The conversation highlights increased adoption of Varroa monitoring and treatment, growing commercial use of oxalic acid amid concerns about amitraz resistance, and a central lesson: successful Varroa control is a season-long system of prevention, monitoring, timing, and multiple tools—not a search for one magic product. The guests also walk through the survey calendar, state participation, rapid preliminary reporting, and why both summer and winter losses matter. More than 2,300 respondents represented roughly 10 to 13 percent of U.S. colonies in the latest survey, but stronger state-level participation remains an important goal. Before the interview, Becky answers a HiveIQ listener question about how quickly pulled honey supers should be extracted.

Why do we smoke honey bees—and how much smoke do they really need? In this installment of his Bee Science mini-series on Beekeeping Today, Dr. Dewey Caron sends an audio postcard from Portland, Oregon, during a wildfire smoke advisory. He uses the smoky skies as a starting point for a discussion of the beekeeper's smoker, the behavior of honey bees, and the challenges wildfire brings to the bee yard. Dewey's central message about smoker use is simple: use it sparingly. He walks through lighting a smoker, choosing fuel that produces cool, white smoke, keeping it working throughout an inspection, and directing smoke where it helps move bees away from fingers and hive equipment. He also describes ways to reduce unnecessary disturbance as frames are removed and the colony is closed. The conversation then turns to what smoke actually does. Dewey explains why he describes smoke as changing bee behavior rather than simply calming bees. He discusses alarm odor, bees retreating from smoke, and honey-stomach filling, while identifying the proposed wildfire escape response as a theory. Liquid smoke, water, sugar water, and inspections without a smoker each get a look, along with their limitations. Wildfire smoke raises a different set of questions. Dewey reflects on Oregon's 2020 fires, threats to apiaries, and the difficulties of caring for surviving colonies. He discusses native bee nesting habitat, changes in post-fire forage, and how smoky skies can interfere with the polarized-light patterns honey bees use to navigate. He also considers research on ash exposure and emphasizes how much remains unknown about its effects on flower visitors. To close, Dewey offers ten points covering smoker safety, inspection decisions, evacuation preparedness, defensible space, supplemental feeding, clean water, documentation, and habitat recovery. Throughout, the emphasis is on thoughtful smoker use and avoiding additional stress on colonies during smoke events. Notes and references: Reynolds, Kamon.

What happens when a spacecraft engineer becomes fascinated with honey bees? In this episode, Jeff and Becky welcome Dan Seitz, an engineer from Los Alamos, New Mexico, whose career designing instruments for spacecraft eventually led him to tackle a very different remote-sensing challenge: understanding what is happening inside a honey bee colony. Dan began experimenting with commercially available temperature sensors but quickly wanted more precise and frequent measurements. That curiosity evolved into ApisNode, a compact sensor system designed to sit between frames and continuously measure multiple aspects of the colony environment—including temperature, humidity, sound, vibration, and volatile compounds. The system can collect dozens of individual data metrics and transmit them from the apiary for analysis. But collecting data is only part of Dan's idea. He is also using artificial intelligence trained with honey bee research literature to look for patterns and correlations in colony behavior. Importantly, the beekeeper remains part of the system: voice-recorded inspections provide observations that can be combined with sensor data to give the AI essential real-world context. Dan shares a fascinating example from his own apiary, where sensors detected changes in brood temperature and colony vibration during smoke from a wildfire roughly ten miles away. The conversation then turns to Dan's Open Apiary Project, an effort to build an anonymized, openly available database of consistently collected honey bee colony data. Could thousands of instrumented colonies eventually reveal patterns that individual inspections—and individual beekeepers—cannot see? Also in this episode, Becky answers a HiveIQ listener question about allowing bees to build foundationless comb in Langstroth frames.

What if the next battlefield isn't physical, but your brain?In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. James Giordano (Professor Emeritus of Neurology and Biochemistry, Chair Emeritus of the Neuroethics Studies Program at Georgetown University Medical Center, served as the consulting neuroscientist on research into the original cases of Havana Syndrome) explores the rapidly evolving world of neuroscience, cognitive warfare, biowarfare, electromagnetic technologies, consciousness, and the ethical questions shaping the future of humanity.Dr. Giordano examines why he believes the threat of biowarfare deserves far more public attention, revealing examples of biological technologies that could potentially be used to target individuals and discussing how they may influence brain function, physiology, and perception.He also unpacks the history of covert CIA programs like MKUltra and Operation Artichoke, whose objectives included investigating whether people could be involuntarily controlled, hypnotized, or coerced into acting against their own will - including carrying out assassinations.We dive into the science behind electromagnetic frequencies, explaining how electromagnetic energy interacts with neurological systems, how these technologies have become dramatically smaller, more precise, and more portable, and their potential military applications, from disrupting drones and aircraft to crowd-control technologies.Dr. Giordano also explains how sound waves can disorient the nervous system, why symptoms such as headaches and dizziness may vary so widely between individuals, the controversial discussion surrounding microplastics and electrical conductivity, whether visual stimuli can disrupt neurological function, and how Faraday cages may protect against certain electromagnetic energies.Beyond emerging technologies, the discussion explores one of today's biggest questions: Is cognitive warfare already happening through social media algorithms? Dr. Giordano examines how information environments can shape perception, influence decision-making, and potentially become tools of modern conflict.The conversation expands into the frontiers of neuroscience and consciousness, asking whether some individuals possess neurological architectures that enable extraordinary cognitive abilities, how life experiences, trauma, and brain structure influence perception, why entheogens may facilitate profound spiritual experiences, whether neurophysiology can help explain reports of telepathy or remote viewing, and whether quantum processes could play a role in brain function and what those implications might be if they do.Finally, Dr. Giordano tackles the ethics of modern warfare itself: What is truly permissible in war conducted in the name of defense, freedom, or God? How do societies determine who the real enemies are? And why does he believe that when scientists lose their curiosity, they stop being scientists?Whether you're interested in neuroscience, military technology, psychology, consciousness, philosophy, national security, or the future of humanity, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and leave you questioning far more than you expected!For a limited time, get $250 off Cove Pure water filtration at http://www.covepure.com/breakdownEvery self-made person started somewhere.

The Varroa Treatment Series continues with another oxalic acid option: Api-Bioxal RTU, a ready-to-use liquid formulation designed for dribble application. Dr. David Peck of Betterbee joins Jeff and Becky to explain what makes RTU different from the traditional oxalic acid and sugar-syrup dribble beekeepers may already know. Instead of weighing, measuring, and mixing oxalic acid, RTU arrives premixed and ready for application at 5 milliliters per occupied seam of bees. David discusses why the glycerin-based formulation may remain active in the hive longer than a sugar-based dribble and how brood status affects its performance. In a broodless colony, RTU can serve as a powerful Varroa knockdown treatment. When capped brood is present, repeated applications can instead help bring mite populations down and hold them under control. The conversation covers the label's repeat-treatment schedule, application with honey supers present, shelf life and storage, temperature considerations, safety advantages compared with oxalic acid vaporization, and an important difference from homemade dribbles: RTU does not have the same 50-milliliter-per-colony maximum. As David emphasizes, Api-Bioxal RTU is another tool—not a universal solution—for building an effective Varroa management program.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just dared traders to bet against the yen, calling himself "the house" with "asymmetric information" on Japanese policy. That's tied to a real currency carry trade that could unwind fast, and when leveraged trades unwind, Bitcoin can get sold right along with everything else. Story two is Metaplanet, where a shareholder's essay on a ballooning executive option pool raises real questions about who benefits when a Bitcoin treasury company issues more shares, even as the company defends its numbers.

Beekeeping challenges rarely stop at national borders. This week, Jeff and Becky cross the Atlantic for a conversation with Dr. Andrea Quigley and Norman Carreck, co-editors of the UK-based Beekeepers Quarterly. Norman, a longtime beekeeper and bee scientist, introduces listeners to the UK's extensive beekeeping education system and his work conserving the native dark European honey bee, Apis mellifera mellifera. The conversation explores what locally adapted honey bees can teach beekeepers about genetics, winter survival, colony size, temperament, and management.   Andrea then takes us inside Beekeepers Quarterly, an independent, internationally focused magazine published by Northern Bee Books. She explains how the quarterly combines practical beekeeping, science, conservation, and perspectives from contributors around the world.  The discussion also turns to two emerging threats with international implications: Tropilaelaps mites and the yellow-legged hornet. Norman and Andrea explain why early detection, understanding pest biology, and cooperation among researchers, government agencies, beekeepers, and the public matter—and what North American beekeepers might learn from the European experience.   It's a wide-ranging conversation offering a decidedly international perspective on honey bees, beekeeping, research, and the challenges ahead.

What if the safety standards protecting you from everyday technology were built to measure the wrong thing entirely? In this episode of Let’s Talk Wellness Now, Dr. Deb sits down with Dr. Paul Heroux, a physicist and toxicologist, associate professor at McGill University’s Faculty of Medicine, and vice chair of the International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields. Together, they examine the research showing biological effects on human cells at levels far below what regulators call safe, and why those standards have not been meaningfully updated since 1996.This is a thoughtful, science-forward conversation about the technology woven into daily life and how to think critically about it without giving up the modern world you rely on. In this episode, you will learn: Why current safety standards are based on heat alone, and what that misses about living cells How electromagnetic fields can generate reactive oxygen species linked to chronic disease The connection between EMF exposure and diabetes, neurological conditions, and fertility What “dirty electricity,” smart meters, and always-on Bluetooth are actually doing in your home Practical, low-cost ways to reduce your exposure without giving up modern life What Dr. Heroux says:“There is a difference between scientific reality and what is acknowledged as science when powerful interests are involved.”“It doesn’t have anything to do with heating. It has to do with the fact that you, being alive, have these active currents. The interaction is extremely deep.”“I love technology. I think it’s wonderful. But we should not use it to shoot ourselves in the foot.” Timestamps:[00:06] The reassurance you’ve been given, and why it deserves scrutiny[04:17] Dr. Heroux’s path from physics and engineering into health science[07:50] The lead-in-gasoline parallel: science vs. powerful interests[13:00] Why cell phone safety standards trace back to military testing[16:30] The flaw in heat-based testing, and what keeps cells alive[19:25] Biological effects at fields far below “safe” limits[23:04] EMFs, reactive oxygen species, and the diseases of civilization[29:37] What dirty electricity is and where it comes from[34:36] Smart meters, smart homes, and always-on devices[42:16] Reproductive health and falling fertility[45:20] Faraday cases, air-tube headsets, and what actually helps[49:10] Practical steps the average person can take today[57:13] What Dr. Heroux wants every parent, patient, and physician to know Visit Dr. Paul Heroux’s book: https://invitroplusnet.wordpress.com/home/textbook-health-effects-of-electromagnetism/ Connect with him:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-heroux-23781128/ Connect with us:Website: https://www.letstalkwellness.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/letstalk_wellnessnow/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LetsTalkWellnessNowPodcastLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lets-talk-wellness-now/ Subscribe to Let’s Talk Wellness Now so you never miss an episode, and if this one opened your eyes, share it with someone who needs to hear it.The post Episode 281: The EMF Truth: Why “Safe” Standards Haven't Changed Since 1996, and What It Means for Your Health first appeared on Let's Talk Wellness Now.

Bitcoin just decoupled from the stock market in a way we've only seen once before — and the last time, Bitcoin went on a historic 9,800% run. With global debt rising, currencies under pressure, Wall Street buying, and the debasement trade accelerating, the setup for Bitcoin may be changing fast. Is this the beginning of Bitcoin's first true parabolic run since 2021, and possibly the biggest since 2013?SPONSORS

Bitcoin just posted its highest close in four months, up nearly $20,000 in 20 days, and triggered one of the largest short liquidation cascades crypto has ever seen. Fed Governor Waller leaning toward holding rates sent it to $82K, then Friday's jobs report blew up the script: 162,000 jobs added against expectations of 55,000, which strips away the Fed's best excuse not to hike on September 16th. Add a sovereign wealth fund talking about cutting Treasury holdings, Blackstone gating withdrawals from its credit fund, and Mohamed El-Erian warning the bond selloff isn't over, and you get a currency war where everyone from China to Japan to Europe is scrambling and the dollar keeps winning anyway. The Porkopolis power law model's Q90 band puts Bitcoin at $800K within two years. This isn't the top. It's the appetizer.SPONSORS✅ Ledn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Simply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

Bitcoin just broke one of its oldest macro relationships. As global bond yields surge, Japan fights to defend the yen, and governments move deeper into financial repression, Bitcoin is holding above $80,000 and beginning to trade more like gold than the Nasdaq.Is Bitcoin finally being repriced as hard money and a global debasement hedge? We break down the bond crisis, fiscal dominance, Bitcoin ETF flows, gold rotation, liquidity, inflation, and why the next phase of the Bitcoin bull market could look very different.SPONSORS

What does it look like when beekeeping equipment moves from an idea in the bee yard to full-scale manufacturing? In this Beekeeping Today Podcast Short, Jeff Ott takes listeners onto the production floor at Premier Bee Products in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Premier founder Jeff Johnson explains how the company approached woodenware manufacturing with a clean slate, borrowing technology and techniques from industries such as cabinetmaking to produce frames and hive bodies with speed, precision, and consistency. The conversation also traces Premier's beginnings in plastic foundation and Johnson's philosophy of allowing honey bees—not manufacturing convenience—to help determine product design. That same approach eventually led Premier to explore research on the honey bee propolis envelope and develop its Propolis Hive. Jeff and Jeff also discuss Premier's use of half-blind dovetail joints in hive bodies and the story behind the Legacy Lid, developed by Missouri beekeeper and woodworker Bill George. It's a field report about much more than manufacturing. It's a look at what can happen when beekeepers, researchers, engineers, and manufacturers approach familiar problems from a different direction. ______________ Brought to you by Betterbee – your partners in better beekeeping.   Betterbee is the presenting sponsor of Beekeeping Today Podcast.

This month on Winning at Honey with Stephanie, Stephanie Slater turns her attention to a honey show category that doesn't appear at every competition: pollen. Preparing pollen for competition requires more than simply collecting it from a pollen trap. Stephanie walks through what judges look for, including cleanliness, proper moisture, aroma and flavor, consistent fill levels, and a colorful variety of pollen. She also shares lessons from her own first pollen entry—and the judge's comment card that showed her where she could improve. You'll learn how Stephanie collects and freezes pollen, uses a fan to separate lighter debris, hand-cleans small batches with tweezers, and prepares jars for judging. She also explains why you should bring extra pollen to the show to correct settling and fill levels before submitting your entry. Stephanie also discusses balancing pollen collection with the nutritional needs of the colony, including her practice of activating traps for only 24 hours before giving the bees several days of unrestricted pollen collection. Finally, this month's Honey Show Spotlight looks at upcoming competitions in Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, and the 2026 Missouri State Beekeepers Association Fall Conference, where Stephanie will be helping with the honey show. Whether you're preparing your first pollen entry or looking for another category to add to your show bench, it's time to start cleaning those pollen pellets! Blue skies and blue ribbons!

The Worthington pearls vanish, a murder turns the case upside down, and Boston Blackie has to outwit Inspector Faraday before the entire city comes crashing down on him. If you like fast-talking noir, double-crosses, and a hero who can think his way out of a police dragnet, this one is built for you. Blackie starts the story already under suspicion, with Faraday searching his coat for the stolen jewels while Shorty and Duke Butcher add fuel to a situation that is getting dangerous by the minute. But the real problem is what happens after Duke shows up, a fight breaks out, and the room suddenly contains a dead man, a missing truth, and one very unhappy inspector who is ready to make an arrest. You'll hear how Blackie, Shorty, Duke Butcher, Whitey Scanlon, and Inspector Faraday each shape the chase for the Worthington pearls. Blackie keeps turning the tables with a trail of misdirection and razor-sharp alibis, Shorty gets dragged deeper into the mess, Duke's hidden role in the theft starts to surface, and Scanlon enters with enough pressure to make the whole scheme crack open. We break down the key twists: how the pearls get planted, why Faraday fails to find them, how the tobacco jar becomes the most important hiding place in town, and why the wrong suspect can look guilty even when he's trying to help. Every move matters, because one bad search, one bad assumption, or one missed clue is enough to hand the case to the real thief.This episode captures everything that makes Boston Blackie a classic - clever reversals, escalating danger, and the kind of cat-and-mouse storytelling that keeps you listening just to see who gets fooled next. Essential listening if you love vintage crime stories where the smartest person in the room is never the one holding the badge.

Global money supply just hit a record $150 trillion, up $10.7 trillion in a single year, and Lawrence Lepard says a big print is imminent. It already looks like it's happening. Bitcoin crashed below $77K after US strikes on Iran resumed, wiping out nearly $100 million in an hour, and Ray Dalio thinks the US debt crisis may be entering its final stage. Meanwhile the FDIC's own November 2022 meeting, the one that blew up the internet, has regulators on camera admitting they don't want to scare the public about bail ins, and Cyprus already ran the test in 2013: a 47.5% haircut on savings over €100,000, converted straight into shares of a dead bank. Ursula von der Leyen is floating the same idea for Europe right now. Every time Bitcoin has broken above its 200 day moving average, it's gone ballistic, and the math says the next one could be violent.SPONSORS✅ Ledn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Simply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

Freddie sits down with Peter Simonson — a Georgia Tech-trained mechanical engineer who invented Medtronic's TSRH-3D spinal implant system before turning his focus to bone health as President and Co-Founder of Juvent — for a deep dive into micro-impact therapy and why bone may be the most overlooked organ system in longevity conversations. Peter walks through the history of vitamin discovery, starting with scurvy and vitamin C, as a framework for understanding micro-impact as a daily mechanical requirement rather than a treatment for any single condition. From there, the conversation moves into the engineering itself: why the Juvent Micro-Impact Platform® is capped at 0.3G, how frequency and load are two entirely different safety variables, and why a body of vibration-safety literature exists in occupational safety research that most clinicians have never encountered. Peter also references a study conducted at St. Jude on bone density outcomes in pediatric transplant patients, and the two share personal family stories — Freddie's mother and Peter's mother — about osteoporosis and mobility later in life. Note: this conversation covers emerging research and technology. Some figures and studies mentioned reflect the guest's own citations and firsthand experience shared in conversation.

Four hundred episodes. What started with a conversation between Jeff Ott and the late Kim Flottum in Medina, Ohio, has grown into hundreds of conversations about honey bees, beekeeping, research, management, and the people who make up the beekeeping community. For this special 400th episode, Jeff and Becky Masterman are joined around the virtual Beekeeping Today table by three familiar voices: Dr. Jim Tew, Dr. Dewey Caron, and Stephanie Slater. Together, they look back at how the podcast began, what they've learned from years of talking with beekeepers, and why those conversations continue to matter. The discussion also tackles a Hive IQ listener question from a new beekeeper whose first nucleus colony produced more than ten gallons of honey—and who is already thinking about expanding. The group considers how quickly a new beekeeper should grow, the financial and management realities of expansion, and Becky's suggestion that growing by dividing your own successful colonies can provide a natural governor on expansion while skills develop. From there, the conversation ranges from understanding local nectar flows and finding mentors to honey shows, marketing local honey, farmer's markets, and even matching different honeys with cocktails. Most importantly, Episode 400 celebrates the listeners, guests, contributors, and sponsors who have helped Beekeeping Today Podcast reach this milestone. Thank you for coming along for the first 400.

“Europe looks more like emerging markets than it does North America,” Joe Faraday, Baillie Gifford's new head of European equities, suggests in this conversation. He means that growth takes many forms across the continent, creating an eclectic mix of companies to choose from and specific circumstances to consider.

What will a healthy beekeeping industry look like five or ten years from now—and what needs to change to get us there? Recorded live at the Tri-States and Minnesota Beekeepers meeting in Fargo, Jeff Ott and Becky Masterman moderate a wide-ranging conversation with Randy Oliver of Scientific Beekeeping, Dr. Izzy Hill of Project Apis m., and Dr. Brandon Hopkins of Washington State University about protecting the future of beekeeping. The discussion begins with the economics. Commercial beekeeping has long depended on two major sources of income: honey production and pollination services. But changing almond acreage, pressure on honey prices, rising operating costs, declining forage, and imported honey are forcing beekeepers to adapt. The panel considers what could make a meaningful difference. Randy argues for restoring forage through regenerative agriculture and improving the economics of domestic honey. Izzy sees promise in new honey bee health products and greater cooperation across the industry. Brandon points to the practical realities facing working beekeepers—from land and forage to fuel, labor, and the need to make beekeeping economically attractive to the next generation. The conversation then turns to consumers. How do we communicate that protecting honey bees isn't simply about colony losses? Healthy agricultural soils, diverse forage, accurate honey labeling, and consumer choices all affect the future of beekeeping. Audience questions expand the discussion into regenerative agriculture, bee pasture, youth education, and getting young people excited about working with honey bees. And Randy closes with an important reminder: amid all the talk about Varroa, economics, forage, and regulation, don't forget to tell people why being a beekeeper is joyful.

If you'd like a response email us at rick@warriorswaymindset.comTwo friends talk about unplugging from distractions, including using a Faraday bag to block device signals during sleep, prayer, and Sabbath time, as an example of leadership and focus. One admits he is struggling and overwhelmed, and the other guides him toward gratitude, deep breathing, and recognizing blessings in the middle of difficulty. They read Matthew 6:7–9 and discuss that prayer is meant to be an authentic conversation rather than repetitive words, emphasizing the importance of understanding “why.” The conversation challenges rule-based, shame-driven religious programming (including Catholic teachings about mass and sin) and reframes God's will as love, humility, and connection. Using analogies from The Matrix, Monopoly, The Italian Job, and personal preferences like cars and taste, they explore self-knowledge, choice, and avoiding self-sabotage. They end by applying “why” to music creation, arguing against gatekeeping demos and proposing simple sharing features to build connection and community. Join our free men's community!

Bitcoin just delivered its biggest dollar week ever as the U.S. Treasury considers tapping nearly $1 trillion in its own account to support the bond market. With a historic Bitcoin short squeeze, weakening dollar, fiscal dominance, institutional ETF flows, gold revaluation talk, and Washington openly entering the “endgame,” is BTC finally beginning the parabolic run this cycle never had? We break down the macro setup, the $82K level that could confirm the bull market, and why this Bitcoin breakout may be far bigger than a simple price rally.SPONSORS

Bitcoin just ripped toward $80,000, wiping out weeks of bearish predictions and creating a $13 billion swing for Michael Saylor in roughly 48 hours. Behind the rally sits a much bigger story: $40 trillion in US debt, Treasury intervention, potential yield curve control and growing pressure to debase the dollar. Arthur Hayes says explicit yield curve control could send Bitcoin straight toward $500,000, while even Ray Dalio is pointing investors toward hard money.SPONSORS✅ Ledn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Simply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

What does it take to make beekeeping look authentic in a Hollywood movie? In this BT Short, Jeff Ott and Becky Masterman talk with Adam Hickman of Foxhound Bee Company, who served as a bee wrangler and beekeeping consultant for The Rivals of Amziah King, starring Matthew McConaughey. Adam's involvement began when a member of the production team visited his Alabama bee supply business looking for inspiration. Before long, Adam and his team were working with the filmmakers—and teaching McConaughey how to look and move like a beekeeper. Adam takes us behind the scenes of several major bee sequences, including an elaborate cutout staged with a real colony and the striking scene of McConaughey holding a queen while thousands of live bees gather on his arm. The filmmakers wanted real bees, minimal protective equipment, and no CGI substitutes, creating some unusual challenges for the bee-wrangling team. He also explains how beekeeping equipment, honey-processing gear, colonies, comb, and even the layout of the honey house were sourced and managed for production. And while Hollywood occasionally wins out over absolute accuracy—yes, actors really do run while carrying full honey supers—Adam says the filmmakers made a serious effort to portray beekeepers and beekeeping authentically. It's a fascinating look at what happens when the craft of beekeeping meets the craft of filmmaking—and how a group of Alabama beekeepers helped bring the bees to the big screen.

Today, with Joey Avery, we dive into the classified history of the 'Council of Nine'—an extraterrestrial intelligence that allegedly contacted military psychics and high-level researchers. From the experimental Faraday cages of the Roundtable Foundation to the involvement of the CIA's MK Ultra, we explore how ancient Egyptian deities may have been communicating with the modern world. Welcome to Camp!

Do you listen to your bees? Beekeepers rely heavily on sight when inspecting a colony, along with touch and even smell. But in this installment of Bee Science with Dr. Dewey Caron, Dewey asks us to consider another source of information—the remarkable world of sound and vibration produced by honey bees. Honey bees live in an acoustic world that extends well beyond the familiar buzz we hear around a colony. Dewey explores how bees produce sound through their flight muscles and how they perceive airborne vibrations through their antennae and substrate-borne vibrations through their legs. He also explains why a queenless colony can sound noticeably different from a queenright colony and how experienced beekeepers can sometimes recognize changes within a colony simply by listening. Dewey then returns to the waggle dance, exploring research showing that sound and vibration are important components of honey bee communication. Recruits aren't simply following a dancer—they are receiving vibroacoustic information that helps communicate the distance to a food source. The science gets even more fascinating as Dewey examines stop signals, predator warnings, learning among young dancers, and acoustic communication in other honey bee species. Finally, Dewey traces the history of using colony sounds to understand bee behavior, from Eddie Woods' pioneering Apidictor in the 1950s to today's digital sensors, sophisticated microphones, and machine-learning systems designed to interpret what's happening inside a colony without unnecessarily opening the hive. The next time you're working your bees, don't just look. Listen. Your colony may be telling you more than you realize. This is Part One of Dewey's exploration of sound in honey bees. In Part Two, he'll return to some of the specialized sounds associated with swarming and communication.

Boston Blackie and the Larry Brown CaseA dead man, a missing envelope, and a killer who keeps missing his target - this case turns into a clever trap before Blackie ever gets the chance to breathe. If you like fast-moving mystery stories with sharp banter, double crosses, and a hero who thinks three steps ahead, this one is built for you.Blackie gets pulled into the trouble when Larry Brown suddenly pays off an old debt, then vanishes from the picture just as another underworld figure is sent to retrieve the cash. When Pete Wilson ends up murdered, Inspector Faraday locks onto Blackie as the prime suspect. But Blackie has already seen enough to suspect something bigger is at work - and once the police, the mob, and a hidden assassin all start circling the same money trail, the story gets dangerous fast.You'll hear how Blackie uses a fake-out death, a planted wallet, and a carefully leaked newspaper story to force the real killer into the open. Along the way, the episode leans into the best of classic radio crime drama: Shorty's nervous comic relief, Faraday's relentless suspicion, and Blackie's cool, strategic way of turning pressure into advantage.The deeper tension here is simple: if you don't understand how the wrong name, the wrong body, and the wrong assumption can be weaponized, you miss the whole game. This episode shows how deception becomes a tool for survival, and why Blackie's instincts always make him harder to trap than the people chasing him.Essential listening if you enjoy vintage mysteries, smart twists, and a hero who can turn a murder investigation into a setup of his own.

What if carbon dioxide could offer beekeepers another way to control Varroa mites? In this episode, Jeff Ott and Becky Masterman talk with award-winning high school researcher Aakash Manaswi, whose multi-year research project investigates using carbon dioxide (CO₂) as a treatment against Varroa mites. Aakash traces his interest in honey bees back to a childhood visit to an apiary, where a beekeeper explained how Varroa was affecting his colonies. That encounter eventually led Aakash to ask whether there might be another way to tackle the parasite. Aakash explains the development of his CO₂ treatment prototype—a hive-top device that distributes carbon dioxide throughout a colony. His research progressed from laboratory testing of different CO₂ concentrations to prototype development and field trials comparing the approach with existing treatments. He discusses the 30% CO₂ concentration used in his research, treatment timing, effects on phoretic mites, and some of the important limitations that still need to be investigated. The conversation also explores Aakash's AI-based system for counting Varroa mites on sticky boards, his work with mentors at 3M, USDA, and the University of Florida, and where he hopes to take the research next. Aakash's work earned first place in Animal Sciences at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair and the Peggy Scripps Award for Science Communication. Before the interview, Jeff and Becky answer a listener question about another emerging tool for beekeepers: artificial intelligence. They discuss where AI can be genuinely useful—and why beekeepers should still question its answers, check its sources, and remember that sometimes the best answer in beekeeping remains, "It depends."

Flock cameras and automated license plate readers are often sold as tools for finding stolen cars, wanted suspects, missing people, and serious threats. But what happens when that same infrastructure starts being used for everyday traffic enforcement, broader vehicle surveillance, or searchable location databases?In this episode, Tom, Kevin, and Scott discuss a 404 Media report about police allegedly using a Flock camera image to issue a traffic ticket, why that story is a warning sign for ALPR mission creep, and how systems marketed for public safety can become general-purpose surveillance infrastructure. They also talk about citizen pushback, vendor substitution, police discretion, data retention, audit logs, racialized camera deployment, rideshare dashcam surveillance proposals, and new technology that could associate phones and other wireless devices with identifiable vehicles.The core question is not whether stolen cars should be found or serious crimes should be investigated. The question is whether communities understand what they are approving when they install or renew ALPR systems — and whether policy promises like “we don't use this for traffic enforcement” are actually enforceable.** Links mentioned on the show **404 Media: Police Used Flock to Give a Man a Traffic Ticket https://www.404media.co/police-used-flock-to-give-a-man-a-traffic-ticket/EFF: Traffic Violation!

What happens when the power goes out—and doesn't come back on? In this episode of The Survival and Basic Badass Podcast, we explore what it really means to Build a Life That Is Hard to Disrupt. This episode is based on my Prepper Camp presentation and takes a different approach to preparedness. Instead of preparing for one specific disaster, the goal is to build a home, homestead, and lifestyle that can continue functioning when the systems we normally depend on begin to fail. Whether the cause is an EMP, cyberattack, severe weather, grid failure, economic disruption, or another major emergency, the basic problems are often the same: no electricity, limited water, disrupted food supplies, failing communications, and services we normally take for granted becoming unavailable. We walk through practical ways to build resilience one system at a time, including: • Water storage, collection, and backup water sources • Off-grid and emergency power • Solar power and battery systems • Heating and cooking without electricity • Food production and long-term food storage • Gardening, chickens, rabbits, and greenhouse systems • Canning, root cellars, and preserving food • Sanitation and composting toilets • EMP preparedness and Faraday cages • Protecting critical electronics • Communications when normal systems fail • Homestead security and solar lighting • Building redundancy into the systems you depend on • Developing a preparedness mindset focused on resilience instead of fear You don't need a bunker, a million-dollar homestead, or a warehouse full of survival gear. Start with the systems you depend on every day and ask one simple question: “What happens if this stops working?” Then build a backup. Preparedness isn't about predicting exactly what disaster comes next. It's about creating a life capable of absorbing failures without everything falling apart. You don't have to do it all today. Build it one system at a time. Build a Life That Is Hard to Disrupt. The Survival and Basic Badass Podcast covers preparedness, survival, homesteading, off-grid living, emergency preparedness, self-reliance, EMP preparedness, grid-down survival, food storage, water preparedness, and the skills needed to become more resilient and less dependent on fragile systems.

A museum for things that aren't gone yet. Roxana Nasoi of Logos walks through the Museum of Civil Liberties: five halls, twenty major events, a record kept where it can't be quietly edited. Phase one of a past, present, and future campaign. "Liberties, not rights." Roxana explains the word choice: rights imply something that can be granted and revoked. The halls cover control of money, the surveillance state, censorship, the failure of voice, and systems of control. The timing writes itself. The show aired August 14. The museum's centerpiece entry is August 15, 1971, when Nixon suspended the convertibility of the dollar into gold: fifty-five years ago, to the day after recording. Why a civil liberties project starts with money. Quoting Logos cofounder Jarrad Hope: the state offers money, property, law, identity, and governance. Bitcoin fixed the money. The other four are still hanging. Suze's Euston station moment. Talk of the surveillance state stayed abstract until a delayed train left her people-watching under what felt like hundreds of cameras. The room digs into why invisible threats only become real through shocks. KYC that doesn't stop crime. Suze lays out her case: by the Chainalysis figures she cites, under 1% of illicit activity moves through "crypto" and just 0.14% through Bitcoin, while illicit flows in traditional finance hold at 2 to 5% of global GDP, unchanged across decades of FATF rules. A rare rollback. The room welcomes this week's Treasury move to permanently end Corporate Transparency Act ownership reporting for US companies and delete the filed data: the opposite ending from the breached Liechtenstein register discussed yesterday. The freedom tech field guide. Roxana's practical stack: Umbrel home servers, mesh networks like Meshtastic that carried protests through internet shutdowns in India, mixnets like Nym versus VPNs, Faraday bags, offline second devices, and local AI. A chess app as a philosophy lesson. She built one in a weekend on Logos: Stockfish engine, real-time play, and an ephemeral chat that leaves no record anywhere once the game ends. Private by architecture, not by promise. Who adopts freedom tech before it's necessary? Brandon Quittem returns to his Myers-Briggs survey: analysts are ten times overrepresented among Bitcoiners, and maybe everyone wired to get obsessed is already here. The next wave joins by social consensus, not rabbit holes.

What is the current state of honey bee health in the United States? Recorded live at the Tri-States Beekeeping Conference in Fargo, North Dakota, Jeff Ott and Dr. Becky Masterman moderate a lively panel discussion featuring Randy Oliver, Jackie Park-Burris, Dr. Katie Lee, and Dr. Rogan Tokash. The conversation explores the biggest challenges facing beekeeping today—from Varroa mite resistance and evolving treatment strategies to honey bee nutrition, forage loss, pesticide exposure, queen breeding, and the economic pressures confronting commercial beekeepers. The panel also discusses the importance of applied research, the future of almond pollination, and why collaboration between researchers and beekeepers remains essential. Audience questions expand the discussion into pesticide impacts, carrying capacity for honey bees, beginning beekeepers and mite management, and what gives these experts hope for the future of honey bee health. Whether you manage two colonies or thousands, this conversation offers valuable insight into the challenges—and opportunities—shaping modern beekeeping.

Preparing extracted honey for competition may seem intimidating, but according to Stephanie Slater, success comes down to patience, attention to detail, and understanding what judges are really looking for. In this episode of Winning at Honey, Stephanie shares practical advice for preparing award-winning extracted honey—from bottling weeks in advance to achieving the proper fill level, eliminating bubbles, selecting matching jars, and avoiding common defects that cost exhibitors valuable points. She also explains how judges evaluate entries, what can disqualify an otherwise beautiful jar of honey, and why proper handling begins long before the honey reaches the extraction room. Stephanie is also joined by Brutz English, President of the American Honey Judges Association, who discusses the organization's remarkable growth, upcoming governance changes, and his vision for expanding honey judging education throughout North America. The episode concludes with this month's Honey Show Spotlight featuring the West Virginia Beekeepers Association Bee Fair & Honey Show, along with several additional honey show opportunities taking place throughout August.
