Honey bees are so cool. A honey bee worker lives for just 5 or 6 weeks during the summer, but in that time she’ll fly about 500 miles visiting 20,000 individual flowers. She’ll fly until her wings literally start to fail and fall off, and by the end of her life she’ll have made about a 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey. There were several beverages in antiquity that were fermented from honey, many of which have survived today. Mead is fermented entirely from honey, while braggot is basically a hybrid of beer and mead. In recent history, Belgian brewers have proven adept at brewing biere de miel, less a style than a group of beers that incorporate honey. And from there, modern craft brewers have started putting honey into more and more styles.In today’s episode we talk with professionals who work in honey, beer, and chocolate about the use of honey in our favorite indulgences.Timeline of interviews:6:50-23:20, 38:25-51:35, 1:07:00-1:07:45  - Keith Seiz & Alison Conklin from the National Honey Board23:20-33:57 - Danny Connors from Rogue Ales51:35-1:06:45 - Anna Seear from Ritual ChocolateChocolate bars discussed in this episode include Ritual Honeycomb Toffee, Ritual Pine Nut, Ritual Aprés, and Ritual Lavender Juniper.Beers and breweries discussed in this episode include Rogue Honey Kolsch and Cascade Brewing.You can learn more about the Honey Beer Competition and enter your commercial beers here.You can learn more about GloryBee and order their honey here.You can learn more about Hollow Tree Honey and order their honey here.The music for this episode was sampled from an instrumental version of the song “Free” written and performed by indie folk musician Anna ps from her 2016 album of the same name.

It is election day and I’m excited to have a guest here to talk about Bee-Friendly Gardening and Bee-Friendly Practices and sustainability! from GloryBee (https://glorybee.com/) in Eugene Oregon here’s Shandy Carroll! (https://glorybee.com/) It is election day and I have my mail in ballot in my purse and I’m excited to where my sticker the rest of the day! Tell me about your first gardening experience? I actually grew up in New Zealand, apparently my sentence structure is British Colony, which I really don’t know what that means. So, I grew up in New Zealand in a fairly rural part in a town known for it’s diving and fishing. I grew up in a nice area with a great big garden and a view of the ocean! The great thing about that spot was we could grow whatever we wanted! It’s pretty temperate located at 34º south on the coast tomatoes carrots lettuce kale All these things meant my mother didn’t have to drive 30 minutes into the supermarket too often. We had a really fun kitchen garden! So that was my first experience with it! I live in an apartment now my garden is some basil that is quite sad and some succulents that are doing pretty well because I can ignore them! I admire folks who are able to garden and my neighbors who have an amazing garden on their balcony. Sound issues of restaurant? Tell us about Glory Bee (https://glorybee.com/) ! Glory Bee (https://glorybee.com/)  is a family owned company in Eugene OR it’s been in business since 1976. I have worked there for the last five years as the sustainability manager! The main products are natural food ingredients 30% of honey nuts grains flours sweeteners like agave and molasses once a year we bring in bees We have a partner who is a bee breeder. We have a a whole big event introduce our customers to bees and their hives. We have a whole education piece. Anyone can come that wants to learn about bees, they don’t hae to be getting bees to attend right? sell NUCs and hives and educational events Yes, anybody can come to the event It is in Eugene Oregon. we have food trucks and music Try to have lots of vendors that can talk about bee-friendly practices and bee friendly gardening! (https://glorybee.com/savethebee) bee friendly practices for folks like myself where I don’t have a garden, I do live in an apartment complex. So I don’t have a garden so the easiest thing is to do is Have a side conversation with the property manager make sure that we are not putting harmful pesticides on the flowers. That’s important to because I have a pet and friends that come to visit so I don’t want pesticides sprayed around my home. products that are pollinated by bees are best to be organic for the bees. So sometimes that’s really easy to do. Where I live avocados that are pollinated by the bees. organic avocados cost like 10¢ organic almonds What about bees and almonds? My husband is always concerned about the water with almond trees that they require and the droughts in California. I know, that’s concerning I live in California, I’ve seen they’ve had to pull out almond plantations because there isn’t enough water for that agriculture sometimes. They’ve put in a lot of really friendly water saving practices so most of the existing almond farms have drip irrigations that’s because the price of water is going up so it makes business sense for those farms to put in those practices. Sometimes that is an excuse for people to eat cheese and not almonds, but the amount of water that goes into producing the amount of a pound of almonds vs a pound of meat it’s disproportional the amount of water needed to produce a pound of meat. it’s interesting to get hung up on the popular boogie man the big picture we do need to eat locally as close to...

  Did you know that bees are responsible for pollinating more than 1/3 of our food? They are key indicators of the health of our food system and communities.   We can help bee populations by providing habitat, decreasing the use of pesticides, and purchasing products from ethical food companies who practice social responsibility. GloryBee Foods, located in Eugene, Oregon is one of those companies. They hold themselves accountable for creating a positive impact in all aspects of the business. GloryBee is a certified B Corp for-profit business. I met Shandy Carroll on Linkedin when I read her article about the process of B Corp certification. As the sustainability manager of GloryBee Foods, she had a lot of insight into the process. The article was so clearly written that I knew I needed to learn more from her!   The great thing about a family-owned company is how organic the purpose is. It’s such a genuine culture.  One of the strengths of becoming a B Corp has been how we’re able to take that really genuine culture and solidify it with written policies and programs. That’s the fun part of my role because I work directly with the owners of the company. I get to take their passion, heart, and drive for sustainability and make it happen.   In this episode, Shandy offers a behind the scenes look at the less glamorous side of the work it takes to be a sustainable company. Her team has implemented some great initiatives for employees, the community, and the bees.
