Episode 192: Beekeeping Retrospective (Part 2)

Nature Calls: Conversations from the Hudson Valley

This episode of ”Nature Calls: Conversations from the Hudson Valley” is a retrospective from one of the early radio interviews from our precursor show, “Digging in With Master Gardeners” which aired on WGXC, 90.7 FM. Teresa and Jean interviewed Master Beekeeper and Emeritus Master Gardener Volunteer Linda Aydlett. The original was aired as episode 14, and can be found on the Digging in with the Master Gardener page. Linda Aydlett has been a beekeeper for over a decade, tending from two to thirty hives in various years. She got started at a workshop by the Catskill Mountain Beekeeping Club, studied via books, internet and youtube videos, then became a Master Beekeeper through Cornell University.Our conversation continues with further descriptions of the castes of bees in the hive. Drones, the only males, are a small portion of the population, with a few hundred or up to a maximum of a thousand per hive. They are larger, and have huge eyes, so are easy to identify. They have no nest chores, and rely on the worker bees for everything.They are evicted from the hive in the Fall. Moving on to disease risks, Linda itemizes the symptoms as well as disasters that can happen in a hive. CCD, or colony collapse disease, was a big issue for a while, whereby all the workers disappeared without a trace, leaving the queen, drones and larva unattended. They were helpless and would not survive on their own. Never diagnosed fully, it seems to have abated for now. Other threats include Varroa mites, which act in a similar way to ticks, being disease vectors. However, they are gigantic parasites compared to the size of their host bees, and can be debilitating.They tend to attack when the colony is at its weakest, usually the winter solstice. There are methods of dealing with these mites, but the beekeeper must always remain vigilant. In light of all these risks to the bees and the need for honey bees as pollinators, is the whole food production system at risk? Linda says there are several documentaries about the commercial migratory route followed by beekeepers who truck hives around the country following the bloom time of various crops. These include the Hudson Valley, where there is a thriving fruit growing industry. The results would be disastrous if anything wiped out the honey bees. Besides commercial transport, there are threats to local bees in a “normal” year. Every summer is the “dearth”, when nectar can become scarce between flowering seasons, and the beekeeper must supplement food, so the bees don't use up the store that they will need for the winter. The average person can help by allowing stands of Asters and Goldenrod to grow. Both provide the needed nectar when other flowers are no longer in bloom. On a small scale, the gardener can increase the yield of their vegetable crops in the home garden by planting flowers nearby to attract honey bees.They have favorites just like we do. First annuals and perennials, then herbs and mints. In early spring, bees exist on dandelions, and then clover. To become a beekeeper is not easy. The beginner must consider many things: legal status to even have hives at your home. Check you municipal code to make sure they are not prohibited; there must be proper space to coexist with and tend the hive; thoroughly understand basic care; be sure your research is with reliable sources like universities and beekeeping clubs; don't squish them... apparently this happens to experts sometimes, too. make the time commitment because there are no vacations when the hives need attention. Once committed to the effort, how do you start? Woodware (the actual physical hive structure), equipment and bees must be acquired. Linda lists sources in the area and online for all three. Bees are shipped either as a “package”, the equivalent of a little bee apartment, or nukes, a much larger number of bees , almost a small hive. Once established, there is one other enemy to be faced, if you live in bear territory. In that case, the best, and probably only, way to go is with an electric fence, and it must be put up before the bear discovers the hive. Once he knows it's there, he'll persist regardless of the electrical charge. Solar power for the fence is also best, because few hives are placed near outlets. The last big threat to bees is the universal one: climate change. The alliance of plants and insects that co-evolved over millennia is changing. It may no longer reliably signal to the bees when to start egg laying, or when specific plants are producing pollen. The beekeeper just goes on, monitoring the hives and adapting wherever she can.

Gardening Through Change: Weather, Climate, and Creative Solutions

As the leaves begin to turn and the air grows crisp in the Northern Shenandoah Valley, gardeners are faced with both new challenges and exciting opportunities. In this episode of "The Valley Today," host Janet Michael talks with Joanne Royaltey, a Frederick County Associate Extension Agent and Master Gardener, to discuss how local gardeners can make the most of the fall season—despite unpredictable weather and shifting climate patterns. Joanne began by acknowledging the difficulties many gardeners have faced this year, from erratic spring rains and cold snaps to the intense heat and drought of summer. She emphasized that adaptability is key: “We must be adaptive gardeners because there's so much change going on that we cannot control.” Rather than feeling discouraged by slow-growing plants or unexpected setbacks, Joanne encouraged listeners to focus on what they can control—starting with healthy soil, organic practices, and smart watering techniques. One of the standout tips from the conversation was the value of mulching with leaves and recycled materials. Joanne, who has bagged hundreds of bags of leaves from her own property, urged gardeners to use these natural resources instead of buying commercial mulch. She also highlighted the benefits of rain barrels and drip irrigation systems, which help conserve water and reduce costs during dry spells. Raised beds emerged as a favorite strategy for both Janet and Joanne, offering better soil control, easier access, and improved water efficiency. The duo discussed creative ways to build raised beds on a budget, from repurposing old metal tubs to upcycling pallets and unused lumber. Joanne cautioned, however, to be mindful of treated wood and to opt for safe, modern materials. The conversation turned to fall planting, with Joanne recommending cool-weather crops like lettuces, mustard greens, peas, radishes, spinach, and garlic. She reminded listeners that fall is also the perfect time to plant bulbs for spring blooms, and suggested experimenting with “lasagna gardening”—layering different bulbs in a single pot for a continuous display of color. Beyond plants, the conversation delved into supporting pollinators and beneficial insects. Joanne shared simple ideas like creating puddling ponds for butterflies and bees, and using non-chemical methods to deter pests. She stressed the importance of research-based solutions and reaching out to local extension offices and Master Gardener help desks for advice. Community was a recurring theme throughout the conversation. Janet and Joanne encouraged gardeners to connect with one another through plant swaps, local events, and online resources like the Northern Shenandoah Valley Master Gardener Association. “We're in this together. We're growing together. We're living together,” Joanne reflected, underscoring the sense of camaraderie that gardening can foster. As the conversation wrapped up, listeners were left with a sense of optimism and empowerment. With a little creativity, resourcefulness, and support from the gardening community, fall can be a season of abundance and renewal—even in the face of uncertainty. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just getting started, the message was clear: embrace the changes, nurture your soil and your spirit, and enjoy the beauty of autumn in your garden.

August 5, 2025 Today's Reading: Colossians 3:1-11Daily Lectionary: 1 Samuel 19:1-24; Acts 28:1-15“For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.” (Colossians 3:3-4)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Springtime rolls around on the calendar, and you take a handful of pumpkin seeds, dig a hole in the garden, drop the seeds in the earth, and bury them. It's a funeral of sorts. The seed dies in the earth, but there's life hidden in the seed as well. Before long, the seed sprouts, vines grow, leaves burst out, and that first orange pumpkin appears.This annual gardening pattern is a picture of what Paul teaches us in Colossians. Being the Master Gardener that he is, God likes to hide things as well, burying them in the ordinary things of life. On Sunday morning your pastor—and fellow sinner/saint—stands before the congregation uses ordinary human words, sentences, and grammar, and yet hidden in those words is a gracious declaration of Good News: “In the stead and by the command of my Lord I forgive you all your sin in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” Later on in the Divine Service, you approach the altar, kneel, open your mouth, and reach out your hand to receive a plain, ordinary wafer of bread, and you drink from a cup full of wine. And yet, hidden in these earthly things is more than meets the eye: Jesus' Body and Blood and his promise of forgiveness. The same is true in Holy Baptism. The pastor takes good old H2O from a faucet, pours it in a bowl, splashes and empties it over your head. And hidden in and with the water is God's promise, pardon, and peace. Through these gifts of words, water, bread, and wine, God is hiding his goodness and grace for you in the ordinary gifts of creation, and in turn, he ensures that your life is like that pumpkin seed you plant in the garden. Your life is hidden with Christ. In Holy Baptism, he buries you with Christ and raises you to new life in Christ, so that one day, when the Gardener returns on the Last Day, he'll do for you what he did in his own resurrection on the third day. Like the seed that is tossed in the earth and later gives life, when Christ our Lord returns, he who is the firstfruits and the firstborn from the dead will return to bring you new life and bring you into the new creation.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Death has lost its old dominion, Let the world rejoice and shout! Christ, the firstborn of the living, Gives us life and leads us out. Let us thank our God, who causes Hope to spring up from the ground; Christ is risen, Christ is giving Life eternal, life profound. (LSB 479:3)Rev. Samuel Schuldheisz, pastor of Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church in Milton, WA.Audio Reflections Speaker: Pastor Jonathan Lackey is the pastor at Grace Lutheran Church, Vine Grove, KY.Step back in time to the late Reformation and learn about a divisive yet inspirational figure: Matthias Flacius Illyricus. His contributions to Lutheranism still echo in our teachings today, from the Magdeburg Confession to parts of the Lutheran Confessions.

Pastor Andy Cass What if you realized you've been placed in a garden — not just physically, but spiritually? In this message, Pastor Andy unpacks two roots every follower of Jesus must grow deep: humility and faithfulness, because what you plant today will be what you live on tomorrow. TEXT: Genesis 2:15, Deuteronomy 6:10–12, James 4:10, 1 Corinthians 3:6–7, James 5:7–8 NOTES: Big Question: Are you growing where you've been planted? Are you rooted? Are you embracing your season? Are you open to shaping/pruning? Big Idea: “What you plant today will be what you live on tomorrow.” Root 01: The mindset of a gardener is Humility Root 02: The cadence of a gardener is infused with Faithfulness and Patience. My faith—seeds have been planted. I remain present in the garden, humbly serving. I stay near the Master Gardener.”

While immigration is at the forefront of today's news cycle, it's hardly a new issue in Southeast Texas. Since the 1800s, Galveston has been a major port of entry for foreign newcomers. That pattern continues today up Highway 45 in Houston, which ranks among America's largest destinations for refugee resettlement. While Harris County has many resources for assistance, transitioning into the workplace in a new country and culture is rarely easy for even the most skilled, educated, and adaptable English-speaking arrivals. But for those arriving from rural and agrarian backgrounds, it is even more difficult. There are few options for finding dignified work. One charity that is working to fill this void is Plant It Forward. They empower refugees to build income through sustainable urban farming businesses. Plant It Forward secures land access, provides mentorship, and facilitates sales opportunities at area markets. In this episode, we'll take a trip to America's fourth-largest city with Gravy reporter Evan Stern to hear about how Plant It Forward's efforts have impacted the lives of its participants and the area's foodscape. Teresa O'Donnell, who traces her unlikely journey from tech executive to nonprofit founder, will share Plant It Forward's history. And CEO Nirjhor Rahman will argue that beyond helping members, Plant it Forward is introducing “a new type of farmer” to Texas's fast-aging agricultural sector. One of these new farmers is Constant Ngouala. A native of Congo-Brazzaville, he joined Plant it Forward shortly after arriving in Houston. He now mentors new arrivals as a Master Gardener while farming his own rented plot. In addition to sharing his experiences as a refugee, he discusses the difficulties he faces as an area market farmer. What is the sustainable food movement's viability in Houston? Gravy explores how, by working the land, Plant It Forward's farmers may represent a continuum in keeping with the region's culture and history. Learn more about your ad choices.

In the latest episode of Valley Today, hosted by Janet Michael, the focus was on Waterwise Gardening, featuring an in-depth discussion with Joanne Royalty, a Program Associate from the Frederick County Extension Office and a Northern Shenandoah Valley Master Gardener. Though typically known for her expertise on the Spotted Lantern Fly, Joanne provided invaluable tips on gardening during drought conditions and how homeowners can make a difference by conserving water. Joanne highlighted the importance of preparing for inevitable droughts by adopting waterwise gardening practices. Janet and Joanne discussed various methods, such as using rain barrels, making responsible irrigation choices, and reusing household water. Joanne emphasized the importance of avoiding midday watering to prevent water evaporation and ensuring healthy plant growth. The conversation shifted towards practical DIY solutions and community resources available for gardeners. Joanne encouraged listeners to consider making their own rain barrels using common household items and pointed out that local Extension offices often provide free or discounted rain barrels. She also stressed the significance of mindful water usage and the benefits of mulching to retain soil moisture. The topic of conserving natural ecosystems introduced the Dark Skies movement, aiming to reduce light pollution that affects nocturnal wildlife like fireflies. Joanne provided insights into how homeowners can adjust their outdoor lighting to support this initiative. She explained that unnecessary bright lights disrupt the activities of beneficial insects and animals operating at night. Using softer, targeted lighting solutions can mitigate this issue. Janet and Joanne delved into the role of Master Gardeners. Joanne elaborated on how these passionate plant enthusiasts volunteer to provide research-based horticultural advice to the community. She recounted her recent experience at the Master Gardener College, where attendees bolstered their knowledge to pass on to local gardeners. Joanne stressed that Master Gardeners are a valuable resource for answering a wide range of gardening questions. The session wrapped up by reminding listeners that Master Gardeners are accessible for advice and willing to assist in various horticultural inquiries, including those related to water conservation and sustainable gardening practices. Those interested in learning more or seeking assistance were encouraged to visit the Northern Shenandoah Valley Master Gardener Association website or their local Extension office.  In summary, the conversation provided a comprehensive guide to waterwise gardening, emphasizing preparation, conservation, and community resources, all while highlighting the importance of supporting our natural ecosystems through informed and practical gardening practices.

When the street trees in her neighborhood failed after less than 20 years, she asked the landscape company replacing them what happened. The answer, "You get what you get, lady," made her blood boil. Since then, she's not only become a Master Gardener. She's developed a way to determine if trees are going to fail. Those street trees had root collar disorder. Once she realized the problem lay in the containers and growing phase, she developed a way to inspect the root systems of containerized trees. Using ground-penetrating radar (GPR), AI, and machine-learning, she's been able to map and grade the root systems of container trees to predict failure with a stunning degree of accuracy. Phase II of her project will focus on using the same GPR technology to map defects in planted trees, saving many hours of labor in excavation to look for problems. In this episode, Marie shares why customer satisfaction, employee opportunities, and company growth and profit make the difference to your success in the Green Industry.
