Dr Heather Barrett-Mold OBE talks to Ken about bee populations in London and encourages people to take part in protecting pollinators with Pollinating London Together action group. Normally in any survey of pollinators honey bees would make up around 11 percent of all the insects surveyed, but in London last year's Pollinating London Together survey found nearly 57 percent of those insects surveyed were honey bees.

As summer winds down, Jim Tew sits down with fellow beekeeper Anne Frey to talk through what August reveals about colonies heading into winter. Their conversation explores the signs that point to how well bees are prepared, from brood nest patterns and queen performance to food reserves and mite levels. Anne and Jim discuss how local conditions shape management decisions and how preparation in late summer sets colonies up for survival and spring success. They also reflect on finding the balance between beekeeper intervention and letting bees adapt naturally. This candid exchange provides both practical steps and thoughtful reminders for anyone managing hives as the seasons turn. ______________________ Thanks to Betterbee for sponsoring today's episode.

In this episode of The Other Half podcast, the boys and HoneyBees watched the final Roger Moore movie, A View to a Kill! Roger Moore would have gone out with a bang, but he's completely overshadowed by Mayday, played by Grace Jones. Even the actual Bond girl in this movie is but a BLIP in the marketing artwork. Grace Jones is just that good. Pair her with Christopher Walken and you've got yourself one of the best pairs of villains you can find in a Bond film. Well, at least since Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd!But how is it actually as a movie? Is the plot good? Are the action scenes compelling?

"In my hives are nurse bees, worker bees, drones, the queen, funeral bees that cart out the dead, and guard bees, that make sure bees from other hives don't get in. No, I don't think this is all random." ---------- I've heard it said that nature is a silent sermon. If that's true, then my friend, Tom Kennish, has 130,000 preachers buzzing in his backyard. Tom's a beekeeper and his bees are as organized as the Vatican on Easter Sunday. Nurses, workers, foragers, guards, and even funeral bees, all doing their jobs without coffee breaks or union demands. In this episode, we talk about honeybees, monarch butterflies, ants, and the divine fingerprints you can see in creation—if you take the time to look. Nature is speaking… are we listening?

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 Director and Chief Executive Officer of The Museum of Kansas City, Anna Marie Tutera to continue our series on women in education.Throughout this episode, Tutera delves into her background, her journey back to Kansas City from New Mexico — where she lived for several years — and how she stepped into the role she is in now. Tutera shares what is to come at The Museum of Kansas City, including a teaser involving clothing, textiles and costumes with pieces from the former Garment District Museum at 801 Broadway Blvd. She additionally discusses future opportunities in the works for adults and youth at The Museum — one being its Workforce and Career Development Program, which it is working toward with funding assistance from The Kauffman Foundation. She shares a bit of her family history as well as those who have inspired her along the way. Another update The Museum is working toward that Tutera highlights is a renovation of its carriage house, which is currently in the early stages of the planning process. This will feature Kansas City's agriculture, equestrian and transportation history as well as tales of Kansas City residents' migration journeys.  Williams shares a brief history and statistics from the Association of Museum Art Directors on the percentage of women involved in the museum field within the U.S. — as well as a dive into early women in the museum field. This includes the very first museum founder and curator during the year 530 BCE (correction: during the podcast, Williams mentions the year on first reference as 430 BCE. This was the year 530 BCE) along with influential women during the 18th century within the museum field. Williams and Tutera additionally discuss ways for the community to get involved and engage with museums from The Museum of Kansas City's foundation board to the Northeast Kansas City Historical Society. 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.

Honeybees are a critical resource for American agriculture.  The western honeybee, Apis mellifera, pollinates more than 130 types of nuts, fruits, and vegetables, adding up to $15 billion worth of crops every year.  Honeybee health has been harmed by a combination of factors:  weather extremes, habitat loss, pesticides, and disease.  One of the biggest problems […]

Late summer brings not just honey harvests but also the return of yellow jackets. For many beekeepers, their sudden appearance can spark concern—or outright dread—around the bee yard. In this episode, Jeff and Becky sit down with Dr. Richard Zack, professor of entomology at Washington State University, to unpack the truth about these misunderstood wasps. Rich shares fascinating insights into yellow jacket biology, their annual colony cycle, and why they turn up at apiaries during nectar dearth. He explains the differences between yellow jackets, wasps, hornets, and honey bees, and why their carnivorous diets can actually make them beneficial predators in many ecosystems. The conversation covers practical tips for beekeepers, including seasonal control strategies, entrance reduction, and why strong honey bee colonies can easily fend off these opportunistic scavengers. By the end, you may look at yellow jackets a little differently—as part of the natural balance rather than the enemy of your hives.

In this Beekeeping Today Podcast Short, Dr. Dewey Caron returns with another insightful “audio postcard,” this time exploring the marvel of honey—its meaning for honey bees, its significance for beekeepers, and its surprising impact on human health. Dewey begins by examining how we define honey, touching on both scientific and regulatory perspectives, including recent efforts like the proposed Honey Integrity Act. He then dives into how honey is processed by bees—from nectar foraging to enzyme transformation and evaporation—highlighting the bee-to-bee communication system of trophallaxis that powers the hive's food-sharing network. Beyond the hive, Dewey explores honey's powerful medicinal properties. Drawing from a comprehensive mega-review of over 100 studies, he outlines honey's antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and even anti-cancer effects, with a focus on manuka honey's growing use in clinical wound care. Finally, he turns the spotlight on beekeeper-to-bee communication—urging beekeepers to proactively manage supers and recognize nectar flows to support colony health and maximize harvest. Whether you're fascinated by bee biology or interested in honey as a functional food, this episode is packed with sweet insight.

In this conversation, host Dr. Riley Kirk and guest Dr. Jaap De Roode discuss the fascinating field of zoo pharmacognosy, exploring how animals medicate themselves using natural substances. He shares insights from his research on monarch butterflies and honeybees, highlighting the role of toxic compounds and fungi in animal health. The discussion also touches on the implications for agriculture, the importance of biodiversity, and the potential for learning from animal behaviors in medicine. Dr. De Roode emphasizes the need for more research in this area and the significance of maintaining natural ecosystems for the health of both animals and humans. Key Takeaways Zoo pharmacognosy is the study of how animals medicate themselves. Monarch butterflies use toxic milkweed compounds to combat parasites. Honeybees may use fungi to treat infections in their colonies. Animal medication can be a learned behavior or instinctual response. Diversity in diet is crucial for animal health and resilience. Propolis serves as both a cement and a medicinal substance for bees. Observational studies provide insights into animal medication behaviors. Animals can change their behavior based on their health needs. Research on animal medication can inform agricultural practices. Understanding animal medication can lead to new discoveries in human medicine.

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 Chair of Gender Equity Task Force of Kansas City Human Rights Commission Alice Kitchen to wrap up our series on women who influence policy.This marks the 10th and final episode of the women who influence policy series for Women Speak. Following this episode, this segment will introduce a new series where Burnett and Williams highlight the history of women in their fields.  Throughout this episode, Kitchen delves into the Gender Equity Task Force Commission in Kansas City, how she got involved and how the commission has evolved over the years into what it is today. She discusses policies and resources the Task Force has worked on and is currently working on including hosting an upcoming listening session in October, which will include data collected from the Jackson County Prosecutor's Office on domestic violence prevention. Kitchen also shares important women in her life who have inspired and motivated her along the way. Burnett, Williams share final conversations on happenings in the Missouri State Capitol in Jefferson City. Burnett discusses the Missouri Ethics Commission and its lack of quorum, which has remained since January when former Missouri Gov. Mike Parsons withdrew two appointed Ethics Commission Members. Now Gov. Kehoe has yet to fill those vacancies, but has begun interviews with potential candidates. Kitchen goes on to mention that the Missouri Ethics Commission is not the only commission in Missouri that has vacant seats. This includes various spots in Kansas City to which many people have applied, but appointments have yet to be made. *This episode was recorded on June 24. The Missouri Ethics Commission has six seats, which are appointed by the Missouri Governor. To have a quorum, four of those six seats must be filled. While on June 16, 2025, Governor Mike Kehoe appointed five new members to various boards and commissions throughout Missouri, he has not yet appointed any additional members to the Missouri Ethics Commission.*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.
