On this week's episode of Women Speak — a segment on Northeast Newscast — hosts Northeast News Editor-in-Chief, Julia Williams and former Missouri House Representative for District 19 Ingrid Burnett sat down with Owner of LIA (Life is Amazing) Inspiration and Member of Independence Plaza Neighborhood Council (IPNC) Laura Palacios to continue our series on women who influence policy. Throughout this episode, Palacios discusses her political science background, her activist journey and the steps that have led her to her current work today — particularly in the Historic Northeast. Palacios delves into the various boards she has served on over the past 15 years, including the Missouri Chapter of the National Women's Political Caucus and her experiences as one of the few Latina members among these boards at the time. Burnett, Williams and Palacios discuss happenings within the Missouri State Capitol in Jefferson city including a special session request for the legislature from Gov. Mike Kehoe. Within the special session call, three items are proposed for approval including Kansas City Stadium subsidies at Truman Sports Complex, relief aid for Missourians impacted by the storms and capital projects from Missouri House of Representatives Bill 19. These bills are discussed in length as well as a lawsuit, which the Missouri Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) has filed against Missouri Attorney General, Andrew Bailey and the University of Missouri. *This podcast was recorded on Wednesday, May 28. Since its recording, this Special Session — which Burnett, Palacios and Williams discuss in this episode — ended on Wednesday, June 11. The Missouri House of Representatives approved $1.5 billion in funding for Kansas City sports stadiums as well as $125 million to aid areas of St. Louis, which faced severe weather damages, according to an article by the Missouri Independent. All three of these bills were previously approved in the Missouri Senate and made their way to the Governor's desk, which he signed into law on Saturday, June 14.*Music used within this Women Speak episode is a song called “I Wish I Knew You Then” by Kansas City local artist Honeybee and the group's lead female vocalist, Makayla Scott. “I Wish I Knew You Then” is a recent single, which Honeybee released in March 2025.  Honeybee's latest single “Lindenlure,” was released on May 30 and is now available on its streaming platforms. 2025 singles “I Wish I Knew You Then,” “Charmed Life” and “Lindenlure” as well as additional Honeybee tracks are available on Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube, TIDAL and Youtube Music. *Disclaimer* I Wish I Knew You Then and any previous or future Honeybee songs used by The Northeast News within the Women Speak podcasts are courtesy of and approved by Makayla Scott and Honeybee under proper copyright law.

In this special episode of Beekeeping Today Podcast, we launch our eighth season with a celebration of Pollinator Week and a conversation with Kelly Bills, Executive Director of Pollinator Partnership. Kelly returns to share exciting updates on their growing programs, from the BeeMD diagnostic tool relaunch to the expansion of Bee Friendly Farming and Gardening certifications. She also discusses the Pollinator Steward Certification, a program educating people across professions to become effective stewards of pollinators in their communities. We explore the importance of native plants, new educational tools like Find Your Roots, and proactive efforts to prepare for the potential arrival of Tropilaelaps mites through the Tropi STOP initiative. Plus, Kelly highlights the landmark lighting of Niagara Falls in honor of Pollinator Week and the evolving Pollinator Power Party. This episode is packed with practical ways beekeepers and land managers can get involved in pollinator conservation—from habitat planning and research grants to farmer certifications and community engagement.

On this rainy and unseasonably chilly spring day, Jim Tew heads out to his bee yard with longtime friend and former lab assistant Jason Ferrell. While the original plan was to inspect a package colony, the weather—and some unexpected bee behavior—had other ideas. What began as a routine day in the yard quickly turned into a puzzling observation. Why were a dozen bees congregating on a white hive cover in 51°F drizzle? Their tongues extended, their abdomens pulsating—Jim and Jason speculate: Are they foraging? Are they confused? Is there something special about that surface? It's another one of those small but intriguing mysteries that beekeepers often encounter. The episode also touches on the ebb and flow of spring colony energy, why some hives fly in the rain while others stay dormant, and how Jim experiments with brood transfers to test for queen presence. Sometimes in beekeeping, the biggest lessons come from days when things don't go as planned. Join Jim and Jason for this spontaneous, thought-provoking walk through a quiet bee yard, filled with questions and quiet observations. ______________________ Thanks to Betterbee for sponsoring today's episode.

Embody Faith & Trust. Tap into the spirit of the Honeybee. Like the bees, we can use a natural, advanced technology to give prana and protection to the seeds of our life...

In this episode, Jeff and Becky sit down with Jim Hartman, the 2024 North Carolina Small Farmer of the Year and a dedicated honey producer. Jim shares his journey from military service and corporate life to becoming a full-time “honey farmer” and entrepreneur. His passion for beekeeping and veteran advocacy shines through as he discusses building a farm business from the ground up—debt-free and focused on sustainable growth. Jim offers practical insights into treating a beekeeping operation as a serious business rather than a hobby. He breaks down essential strategies like proper bookkeeping, the importance of filing a Schedule F, and setting clear business goals. Jim also highlights programs and resources available to veterans and new farmers, including the underutilized Veteran Small Business Enhancement Act and the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA). Whether you have 10 colonies or 200, Jim emphasizes the importance of mindset: stop thinking in terms of hobbyist or sideliner—if you're running your bees to make a profit, you're a farmer. His story and advice offer valuable lessons for any beekeeper looking to strengthen their operation and approach their bees with a business-first mentality.

On this week's episode of Women Speak — a segment on Northeast Newscast — hosts Northeast News Editor-in-Chief, Julia Williams and former Missouri House Representative for District 19 Ingrid Burnett sat down with Superintendent of Kansas City Public Schools Jennifer Collier (Ph.D.) to continue our series on women who influence policy. Throughout this episode, Collier discusses what led her to her current role including previous career paths she considered prior to her time with Kansas City Public Schools. She mentions how her background and passion with art and music has influenced public school programs within Kansas City as well as those who have influenced her along the way.Burnett and Williams discuss happenings within the Missouri State Capitol in Jefferson city. This episode delves into recent bills passed through Missouri congress, which are focused on education. Of these includes the budget and the Missouri Education Funding Formula or the “Foundation Formula.” Burnett, Williams and Collier discuss this Formula and how it is not only impacting Kansas City public schools but also metro tax payers. Property taxes for senior citizens and its impact on Kansas City Public Schools as well as technology usage in Missouri public schools are also mentioned. Music used within this Women Speak episode is a song called “I Wish I Knew You Then” by Kansas City local artist Honeybee and the group's lead female vocalist, Makayla Scott. “I Wish I Knew You Then” is a recent single, which Honeybee released in March 2025.  Honeybee's latest single “Lindenlure,” was released on May 30 and is now available on its streaming platforms. 2025 singles “I Wish I Knew You Then,” “Charmed Life” and “Lindenlure” as well as additional Honeybee tracks are available on Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube, TIDAL and Youtube Music. *Disclaimer* I Wish I Knew You Then and any previous or future Honeybee songs used by The Northeast News within the Women Speak podcasts are courtesy of and approved by Makayla Scott and Honeybee under proper copyright law.

In this lively episode, Jeff and Becky welcome back Dr. Jim Tew, host of Honey Bee Obscura and longtime beekeeper, for an unscripted conversation on the quirks, questions, and quiet joys of summer beekeeping. With decades of experience and a healthy dose of humor, Jim reflects on managing colonies during the busy season—when things rarely go to plan. From ants nesting under hive covers to quirky package bee behavior and the eternal struggle of running out of supers, Jim offers practical advice laced with storytelling. He shares his experiences with package installs, queen releases, and how he's dealt with flighty bees that don't seem to settle. Jeff and Becky weigh in with their own seasonal challenges, from sneaking equipment into the garage to dealing with overflowing honey production. The conversation also touches on the ever-expanding nature of beekeeping: how it's easy to go from a few colonies to more than you can manage, and the elusive challenge of knowing when to say “enough.” Along the way, Jim's tales cover everything from pressure washers and wax moths to giving (or not giving) away bees. It's equal parts insight, therapy, and appreciation for the art and absurdities of keeping bees. Whether you're a new beekeeper or an old hand, you'll find something to nod—and laugh—along with in this episode.

CrowdScience listener Saoirse is vegan and doesn't eat honey. But she's been wondering - might honey actually have environmental benefits, by giving bee populations a boost? To find out, presenter Anand Jagatia dons a bee suit and opens up some hives with biologist Dave Goulson, who reveals that there are over 20,000 bee species on earth – and not all of them need saving. Honeybee researcher Alison Mcafee talks about the importance of beekeeping for crop pollination, and why honeybee colonies around the world are collapsing. Although, as she explains, in some places beekeeping might actually be bad for endangered wild bees. We travel to Kenya to meet Loise Njeru and Lucy King, who show how the humble honeybee can be a powerful tool for conservation – helping to protect the mighty elephant. And, on a rooftop in London, former beekeeper Alison Benjamin explains how we can support the wild bee species that need our help.

In this episode of Beekeeping Today Podcast, Jeff and Becky welcome U.S. Representative Jim Himes of Connecticut's 4th Congressional District for a lively and inspiring conversation—not about politics, but about bees. A hobbyist beekeeper with a deep passion for the craft, Jim shares how he got started, the joys of hive management, and why working bees is his favorite antidote to the stress of congressional life. From extracting honey to navigating Varroa mites and splits, Jim discusses his apiary in suburban Connecticut, seasonal nectar flows, and how beekeeping has awakened his awareness of pollinators and bloom cycles. He reflects on the challenges facing bees today—from pesticides to USDA research cutbacks—and shares his perspective on sustainability and agricultural innovation. Listeners will enjoy stories from Jim's own bee yard, including an unforgettable confectioners' sugar mishap involving his wife. He also talks about how sharing honey in Congress creates unexpected moments of camaraderie. Whether you keep one hive or a hundred, this conversation highlights the common ground found in beekeeping—across fences, party lines, and hive boxes.
