"For the longest time, I kind of used makeup to hide behind. Hide my face, and hide acne scars, and hide everything else. But then it developed from that into being a creative outlet. I've created elf looks and clown looks. I think it's a really cool way to become either a visual representation of what you feel on the inside or what your soul looks like, or it can be something to completely become a whole new character", says Bee Mellifera. Bee joins this episode to discuss their passion for makeup, challenges autistic people face when applying make up, and how they have learned to better love themselves.

Nadine ist Imkerin und nah dran an Bienen und an der Natur. Imkern ist ihre Leidenschaft und sie arbeitet dabei „wesensgemäß“, also nah dran an den Bedürfnissen der Honigbiene. Es summt und brummt im Bienenstock – also alles ganz harmonisch? Leider nein! Die Insektenvielfalt schrumpft auch in Deutschland ganz erheblich - eine große Krise mit irreversiblen Folgen. Über die Bienenhaltung ist Nadine auch dran am Insektensterben. Der Rückgang der Schwestern der gezüchteten Honigbiene – der Wildbiene betrifft uns alle. Was Honigerzeugung, Wildbienen, Biodiversität und unsere Zukunft miteinander zu tun haben, das erfahrt ihr in dieser Podcast-Folge.

In the second of our Behind the Brand series, we catch up with Food Matters Live Awards Innovative natural and organic product of the year winner, Melligel, and find out how the brand behind it, Mellifera, has created a sports nutrition supplement from organic honey.  What motivated them to head down this path, and what are the potentials for organic honey within the sports nutrition sector? Join the conversation on Table Talk to find out. About MelliGEL by Mellifera Ltd. Carbohydrate is needed to fuel almost every type of activity as the amount of glycogen has a direct effect on physical and mental performance. Organic honey with its predominantly carb content is first class source used from the time of the first Olympian runners of the ancient Greece. Nowadays, there is numerous scientific documents and evidence that honey is the perfect fuel to consume before exercise in order to achieve both fast energy and endurance. MelliGEL is the first 100% organic certified energy gel, which is also certified by Informed Sport as a product suitable for professional athletes. It's all natural and raw food based on pure honey, herbal extracts, and superfoods which deliver the flavor – Raspberry, Spirulina, GingerCherry, Matcha, Guarana, CacaoMint, or Strawberry. MelliGEL provides the much needed energy for athletes and active people without the burden of any chemicals, GMO, and artificial additives. In addition, it stimulates immunity as honey and the other ingredients are bursting with enzymes, polyphenols, minerals, antioxidants, and adaptogens. Immediately after its launch in its home country (Bulgaria) it was recognized by the Bulgarian Tennis Federation as main sport nutrition for the national teams of professional tennis players. Acknowledgment of the Official partnership can be seen on https://bgtennis.bg/.

This week’s topic is the Honeybee, or if you want to be fancy, “Honey Bee”. Honeybees have been domesticated by humans to help crop pollination and for yummy honey. Everyone knows about the Western Honey Bee (Apis mellifera), and most people probably know of Eastern Honey Bee (Apis cerana), but did you know there are at least six other species of Honeybees and around 20,000 species of bees on this planet?First, Happy Belated Earth Day! If you’re interested in donating or volunteering here are some of the sisters' favorite charities.350.org which is dedicated to combating climate change by reducing the atmosphere's carbon dioxide concentration to the safe level of 350 parts per million. (We currently sit at 400 parts per million.)4ocean.com Every purchase helps fund our global ocean cleanup operation and supports a growing movement to end the world’s reliance on single-use plastic.www.ucsusa.org  Union of Concerned Scientists is a non-profit science advocacy organization dedicated to the lofty goal of making the planet a healthier and safer world.Honeybees live in eusocial colonies, which you've probably heard about in biology class, but were just never told the scientific name for it.  Eusocial is a fancy way to say there's a strict caste system of the Queen, female workers bees, and of course the mostly useless male drones, and everyone sticks to their duties. But did you know that female worker bees have different jobs throughout their lives? Or that a few selfish worker bees can cause anarchy within a colony? Or that a Queen can mate up to 60 times? You’ve also probably heard that the bee population is declining, but do you know why? And, if the honey bee population collapsed, would the human population also collapse? Listen now to learn about the fascinating Honeybee For more information on us, visit our website at betterthanhumanpodcast.comFollow us on Twitter @betterthanhuma1on Facebook @betterthanhumanpodcaston Instagram @betterthanhumanpodcaston TikTok  @ https://www.tiktok.com/@l_a_mander https://www.tiktok.com/@betterthanhumanpodcastor Email us at betterthanhumanpodcast@gmail.comWe look forward to hearing from you, and we look forward to you joining our cult of weirdness!#betterthanhuman #cultofweirdness

If you cannot see the audio controls, your browser does not support the audio element DIY Series - Episode #1Why BeekeepingTypes of BeesIntro to HivesHobby vs CommercialWhy Beekeeping?  Keeping bees is an amazing experience; enlightening, humbling, educational, and rewarding. Beekeeping supports community pollination, food supplies, and fosters bee populations outside of the commercial beekeeping industry.Pollination:  Bees can help make your plants healthy as they pollinate, as well as fruit trees in nearby orchards which helps the local economy! Low maintenance. Bees work hard without much effort from you.Honeybee Decline:  Some of the main causes are pesticides both agricultural and home & garden used chemicals.Pests; Varroa mites, Hive BeetlesDiseases, Nosema and American Foulbrood (will discuss in Part three of this series.)Predators: Wasps, Racoons and BearsClimate changes: Rapid climate changes disrupt the timing between bees and blooming. Directly impacts the hives brood and bee rearing cycles.Monoculture: Huge scale single crop plantings deprive the honeybees of the diversity of vegetation key to healthy bee habitats virtually creating food deserts.          Honey:  Bees produce honey from the sugary secretions of plants known as nectar. Honey is used as a natural sweetener, is found in skin and health care products, and medicines. Honey’s flavor profile is determined by the nectar available in a three mile radius.Fun: Mead! Mead is composed of honey, water and yeast. It is a fermented drink growing in popularity at a rapid rate. It’s an ancient drink that is making a great comeback.Community Education, Entomology, Ecosystems, all help us to better  understand our modern food system and the importance of it’s sustainability.Health and Well Being: Coming from Beeswax and propolis, a hive byproduct.Household items: candles, soaps, salves, lotions, shampoos, creams, deodorants, tonics, tinctures, wood polish and beeswax wraps to name a few.Types of Bees:Not all pollinators are honey bees. The honey bee is exceptional because it  also provides food for human consumption. Our focus will be mainly on the honey bee but we must remember we need all of our pollinators to survive.Apis Mellifera is the Western honey bee. Apis is Latin for “Bee” and Mellifera is “honey bearing”. It is the most commonly recognized bee when we think of pollination but we do have other species as well.Mason Bees also known as Blue orchard Bees don’t live in big hives but live in tubular cavities. They do not produce honey but are some of the best pollinators out there and in light of the honey bees’ decline these are a great addition to pollinating your trees and gardens. Seven mason Bees pollinate at the same level as 500 Honey Bees. to you can see how we can utilize this little group as well.Bumble Bees are similar to the Honey Bee when it comes to the structure of the colony. They have a single Queen and colonies are marginally smaller than the Honey Bees.They also feed on nectar but do not produce honey. The Queens invade other Bumblebee nests, kill the resident Queens and lay their eggs.This species is also in decline caused by habitat loss along with the mechanization of agriculture and the use of pesticides.CapenterBee, Leafcutter Bee, Sweat Bees, and so on! I suggest a google search for types of bees. You will be astounded at the diversity in the Bee  families.The Beehive:  Understand various types of beehives are perfectly fine. Each is user preference when it comes to keeping their bees.Beehive: an enclosed man made structure where honeybees live and raise their young.Bees nest: an the location bee colonies chose to house themselves in, walls, roofs, cavities in trees, old sheds, etc. In warmer climates you can find them hanging and exposed.So, the nest is the bees way and the hive is the man made way to house the nest.If you were to look into the inside of the nest you would see densely packed hexagon shaped cells make of wax for food storage, honey, pollen, and most importantly to house their brood which is composed of eggs, larvae and pupae up to the day they emerge from the cell as  a honeybee.Both natural and man made bee hives or nests require bee space. Bees do this naturally, modern hives use frames with bee space integrated into their design.Three most common types: Langstroth, Warre and Tob bar.Diagrams and pictures available in the DIY section online at honeybeemyteacher.comLangstroth: Bottom board with a porch for the bees entrance,  boxes with frames.Inner cover and telescoping cover for protection from weather.  Standard for many of the worlds beekeepers both professional and amateur.  Simple structure and fairly easy to work with.I prefer the 8 frame hive because of weight.  Honey is heavy!  Good beginner hiveWarre hive very similar to the Langstroth.Difference: Bars only, no frames. Bees build themselves.  It takes a little more skill to manage but is becoming more popular among sustainable practice beekeepers.  New empty box is placed on the bottom as opposed to the Langstroth where we place the new box on the top.  Purpose of this replacement is warmth retention within the brood nest of the hive which is considered to be the heartbeat of the hive.Top bar Hive: Horizontal design. Also referred to and the Kenya hive. Uses bars no frames. You have to make sure to create bee space.Pricing ranges:Langstroth: Unassembled $95 to as much as $299Warre:  $140 to $400Top Bar. $45 to $350Hobby vs Commercial Beekeeping:Hobby Beekeepers are in a great position to make a real impact for the Honeybee.The hobbyists can effectively create a matrix of Bee populations giving the Honeybee a fighting chance to survive and regenerate their populations while commercial Beekeepers  focus on pollinating large scale crops for profit.Making the decision to be a hobbyist or work at the commercial level boils down to your motivation and reason to keep the Honeybees.This podcast is focused on the opportunity to work together in community to make healthy changes for our beautiful planet.Press subscribe and let's get started learning, teaching, and buzzing together.

I was invited to the BIBBA Conference on the Isle of Man this year to talk about top bar hives. This is my talk, lightly edited to remove the soundtrack of a video at the end.  My talk was introduced by Johnny Kipps, a resident of the island, who took me to see his top bar hives during one of the lunch breaks. You can see the video of his hives, complete with local black bees, here https://youtu.be/jRebDnqj-wc    

This is Part 2 of the session with Willie Robson, which has a somewhat better sound quality as the storm had reduced in strength by the time we had finished lunch. Willie spent an hour answering questions from the audience and I think you will find this session very interesting, especially if you keep or are planning to keep black bees. I should also mention that I have just published another book, called Balanced Beekeeping II: Managing the Top Bar Hive. It has taken me nearly two years to write and edit and it has 385 pages full of the most useful tips and techniques I know to help you set up, populate and manage a top bar hive. Take a look on my site at biobees.com under books and you will find both paperback and ebook versions. Willie Robson has written a fascinating book, full of his accumulated wisdom, called, "Reflections on Beekeeping", published by Northern Bee Books.  Thanks to Graham White for the use of his photo of Willie with an open hive.    

Willie Robson runs between 1500 and 2000 hives as a family business in Northumberland, the most northerly county in England. This is a challenging environment, with high rainfall and cold winters, often with weeks of snow. He uses only native "black" bees, which have adapted to the climate and - according to Willie - to his management methods, which are of necessity based on a relatively low-interference protocol. This recording was made in Cornwall on 6th February 2016, where Willie was giving a talk about his beekeeping methods and sharing his 53 years of experience with an audience of black bee enthusiasts. The sound quality on this recording is not the best, as the edge of a hurricane was causing a fair amount of background noise. Willie's web site is http://www.chainbridgehoney.co.uk            

Something strange and unsettling is happening to Bay Area honeybees. Entomologists at San Francisco State University have identified the culprit: a tiny parasitic fly is causing the bees to exhibit bizarre nocturnal behaviors before suffering a gruesome demise.

Forty percent of the food produced in the U.S. goes uneaten. From "farm to fork", there are many reasons for food waste, including consumer demand for perfect produce and confusion over expiration dates printed on packaged foods. This massive waste occurs as one in six Americans struggles with hunger every day, even in affluent regions such as Silicon Valley.
