In this episode of the Upscaling from Hobbyist to Sideliner series, we explore the business side of beekeeping with two beekeepers who successfully made the leap. Hosts Jeff Ott and Becky Masterman are joined by Tara Dawn Chapman of Two Hives Honey in Austin, Texas, and Jay Williams of Williams Honey Farm in Tennessee. Tara and Jay share their personal journeys—both of which began outside of agriculture—detailing their challenges, missteps, and the pivotal moments that shaped their businesses. From scaling their apiaries to diversifying their revenue streams, they offer practical advice for beekeepers looking to turn their passion into a sustainable business. One of the biggest lessons they emphasize is that beekeeping businesses don't have to rely solely on honey sales. Both guests discuss the role of agribusiness opportunities, including hive tours, honey tastings, VIP yard management, and B2B partnerships. They highlight the importance of branding, marketing, and pricing honey appropriately, noting that storytelling and quality presentation can dramatically increase a product's perceived value. Throughout the conversation, they reflect on the pitfalls of trying to do everything at once and why finding a niche is key. They explain how agritourism can supplement income, even in regions with inconsistent honey flows, and share insights on hiring employees in a beekeeping business. The discussion also covers state and federal grants that beekeepers can apply for to expand operations, and why pricing honey at premium rates is often more sustainable than undercutting the market. If you're thinking about expanding your beekeeping beyond the hobbyist level, this episode is packed with insights, strategies, and real-world advice from beekeepers who have successfully made the transition. If you're looking to make honey harvesting more manageable and efficient, this episode provides the guidance you need to take the next step.

This Episodes Questions: Hello to a fellow Hoosier and the J's, I have almost bought a printer for at least 15 years, almost bought a makerbot, almost bought a RepRap, but always got discouraged at their difficulty to use. I put purchasing one on the back burner. In December 2024 I purchased a Bambu P1S. This printer is great and just works. But, it's boring. I need to tinker. I'm just a hobbyist at this point. I can see making and selling stuff down the road. My question is which printer on the market now is in need of more user input to operate? Something more equivalent to driving a manual transmission versus an automatic. Thanks. Clint Just found your podcast and I'm binging it from the beginning forward. I apologize if you've tackled this before- As a very low volume hobbyist, I find myself  infrequently printing one or two of a small item I've identified a need for. Here, time, within reason, is no issue. I dont really care if a part takes 2 hours or 6 hours to print. Print quality, however, is an issue. So I'd sacrifice a great deal of speed to get better quality on the first try Do you have advice for settings  that prioritize quality over speed?  Thank you!! Gregory I am looking at a flashforge 5m pro, k1c, or flsun t1 pro as a first printer. All three are very close in cost. I have some cnc experience but no 3d printing experience. I am looking for a fast way to prototype and will eventually want to use nylon and cf materials.  I would love a bigger printer but believe it is probably better to stay small for now. Things I care about. 1. Ease of use. Easily number one. 2. Safety/ filtering, although I know i can add filters. 3. Consistency 4. Versatility. 5. I'm not interested in bambu. Again, thanks for your time and love the podcast. Appreciate any insight you can give me. Cheers. Lewis

In the second episode of our February series, Upscaling from Hobbyist to Sideliner Beekeeper, Jeff and Becky continue the conversation with returning guests Dr. Meghan Milbrath and Ana Heck from Michigan State University. This week's focus is on one of the most critical—and often costly—aspects of growing a beekeeping operation: equipment and logistics. Meghan and Ana share their insights on how to strategically manage equipment as your apiary grows, covering everything from the pros and cons of building versus buying hive components to making decisions about palletizing, bottom boards, and the use of queen excluders. They discuss the importance of maintaining consistency with equipment sizes, the benefits of using migratory versus telescoping covers, and how to manage hive configurations for both honey production and overwintering. The conversation also dives into the practicalities of scaling up, such as selecting vehicles for beekeeping operations, deciding when (or if) a forklift makes sense, and managing outyards. Meghan and Ana offer valuable advice on finding and maintaining good relationships with landowners, how many colonies to place in a single yard, and even strategies for negotiating yard rent—often paid in honey! Whether you're considering your first expansion or already managing dozens of colonies, this episode offers practical tips, real-world experiences, and thoughtful advice to help you grow efficiently and sustainably.

During the go-go years of the uranium-mining rush of the early 1950s, the character of the uranium prospector became iconic. He was basically the gold-seeking “miner 49er” updated for the atomic age: in lieu of a mule, he rode an Army-surplus Jeep; in place of pick and gold pan, he carried a Geiger counter and ultraviolet flashlight. So it's ironic but maybe not surprising that Oregon's biggest uranium strike was made by an everyday rockhound - a guy who didn't even own a Geiger counter. (Lakeview, Lake County; 1950s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/22-04.white-king-lucky-lass-uranium-mines-608.html)

The Shallow End is hosted by Dave Schwartz ⁠@Iowa_Dave_Sportscards⁠ Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/infraction/tumblin

We discuss some important do's and don'ts for fish keepers and why a fish veterinarian is a great resource for you! *Spoiler alert* this won't be the last time you hear from our Fishkeep and Chill friends!

This podcast is brought to you by the crocodile icefish, found in the freezing cold waters of the Southern Ocean around Antarctica. Water around this area reaches temperatures below freezing and the Icefish survive in this climate thanks to their colorless blood which lacks hemoglobin. They are the only known vertebrates to lack this key protein. They are one of the largest consumers of patagonia outdoor clothing, donning their fleeces and ski jackets  in an attempt to stay as warm as possible. Cheers to you, crocodile icefish. May you stay warm forever in our hearts. Thanks for listening to Gettin' Fishy With It!

In this episode of the Pints and Polishing Podcast, hosts Marshall and Nick discuss a variety of topics ranging from their favorite beers to the emotional connections people have with their cars. They delve into the service industry, sharing positive experiences, and debate the merits of naming cars. The conversation shifts to college football, exploring the financial implications of player compensation and coaching decisions. They also touch on the evolution of vehicle design and the challenges faced in the detailing industry, before concluding with a discussion on luxury cars and the lengths wealthy individuals will go to acquire them. In this conversation, Nick and Marshall explore various aspects of luxury car ownership, detailing, and the evolving culture of car enthusiasts. They discuss the reliability of luxury vehicles, the tax benefits associated with owning them, and the importance of proper maintenance. The duo also delves into the significance of products like Fuego in car care, the challenges faced by DIY car owners, and the distinction between hobbyists and professionals in the detailing world. They emphasize the role of the internet in shaping car culture and the importance of humor in the community. Takeaways The service industry often receives negative feedback, but positive experiences should also be shared. Naming cars can create a sense of attachment, but not everyone agrees with this practice. Emotional connections to cars vary greatly among individuals, especially those in the car business. Pets often reflect their owners' personalities and lifestyles, leading to unique relationships. College football has become a business, with significant financial stakes for players and coaches alike. The design of vehicles has evolved, often prioritizing size over quality materials. Detailing cars can reveal surprising and sometimes unpleasant discoveries. Luxury brands like Range Rover have mastered the art of branding and customer satisfaction. Wealth can often bypass regulations and restrictions in the automotive market. The podcast hosts enjoy sharing personal anecdotes that relate to broader themes in society. Most luxury car owners don't drive their cars much. Tax benefits can make luxury cars more appealing. Fuego is a neutral pH product that works well for detailing. Proper maintenance is crucial for high-end vehicles. DIY car care can lead to mistakes if not done correctly. Hobbyists play a significant role in the detailing industry. The internet has transformed how car enthusiasts connect. Car detailing can be a therapeutic activity for many. Humor is essential in car culture and ownership. Not all car enthusiasts are knowledgeable about maintenance.

She's here to share with us how that's possible!   Several years ago Louise McManus bought a house, built in 1856, in the historic Erie Canal hamlet and had a dream of creating a beautiful shop the community would love, and the rest is history!  This was a new venture for Louise, as she came from working in a bridal boutique and as a jewelry designer.    The Vischer Ferry General Store is both a café and a retail gift shop. Her journey as a retail shop owner has been one to watch not only because of her multiple buckets of revenue streams, but the atmosphere she has created for her customers - it truly is a destination shop!    I have watched her grow into a CEO who is flexible and knows how to think in the future. I know her journey will help yours as well. Take some notes, Louise is living her best life as a shop owner and is still in love with it all!   “It's my business, and it can be whatever I want it to be.” - Louise McManus   Ready to Level Up?
