PODCAST EPISODE 30: Peter Gatehouse from Hill Top Hives, South Gippsland, Australia It's quite uncanny, but there are many remarkable stories of transformation that centre on bees. It seems to me that bees often enter someone's life and a change in perspective, even career, ensues that is fulfilling in a way that person needed quite deeply. These stories – which are told quite often – give me goosebumps. Of course, there are logical explanations that might lead a person to fall in love with bees, but I still feel there is some magic there – the world's most remarkable creatures helping us out, making our days brighter, showing us how to live in a simpler, more natural way. Peter Gatehouse of Hill Top Hives has one of these stories, and I am thrilled to introduce you to him in episode 30 of the BEES WITH BEN beekeeping podcast. Peter was born and raised in Melbourne and moved to South Gippsland with his partner Margaret and young family in 1991, where they settled in Mirboo North. Over the years, the family grew their garden; a special place, that transformed over time, and was even home to some happy chickens and geese. When bees seemed like the next step in the garden's evolution, Peter was excited to welcome them to the property – he knew that bees would be helpful to pollinate his flowers and that he would eventually garner some delicious honey from them when the time was right. However, he was unaware of how these bees would change his life. After an unforeseen redundancy after many years as a medical scientist, Peter had the time to commit to his ever-growing passion for bees, and before long, a humble beekeeping hobby blossomed into Hill Top Hives! Hill Top Hives produces local wildflower honeys that display unique colours and flavours specific to South Gippsland, providing customers with honey that they can be confident is sourced locally and ethically. Peter also sources other mono-floral honeys for his customers from other reputable sources when available. In addition, Hill Top Hives offers beautiful beeswax lip balms, wraps, candles and, soon, soaps. Peter also leases hives, manages other people's hives and offers a consultancy service. Tune in to hear Peter and I chat about Hill Top Hives, how his scientific background has bolstered his ability to diagnose illness and disease in the hive, and sustainability in local beekeeping. www.hilltophives.net.au

Ho Ho Ho. In this special edition Mark and Brendan spread some Christmas cheer. Each of us review items for use over the holiday period - some veterinary based and some not. In news we talk about the world's heaviest flying bird and a fossil named after Darth Vader. Looking for some new equipment to spice up your practice? Then consider the great fold-away and portable Buster ICU enclosure, which will pay for itself in no time. Or keep your patients toasty with the aptly named HotDog pet warming system. The Rycom non-contact clinical thermometer is a useful temperature measurement gadget that Mark uses - 5.9/10. Suprelorin (deslorelin) implants are reviewed by Mark, as well as bird foraging video. Tired of vet life and need something to take your mind off work? Look no further than the intriguing documentary about Vivian Maier. It's a great true mystery documentary about a street photographer and excellent viewing even for those with little interest in photography, as it is also about the human condition and is very poignant. 9.2 out of 10 From Brendan. A novel to read over the Christmas break is Artemis. It is a science fiction novel set on the moon by the author of The Martian, which was made into a film starring Matt Damon. Artemis is the story of Jazz, a small time smuggler on the moon and her adventures. A fun, fast paced, easy to read novel perfect for the post Christmas period, recommended by Brendan. Or consider the book The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill, a thought provoking read for the holiday period. A non-fiction text to consider is the Avian Anatomy, Textbook and colour atlas. This second edition text is a high quality production For some Christmas cheer consider a beer from the Grand Ridge Brewery, located in Mirboo North, east of Melbourne, Australia in the Gippsland region.

Today we talked about the fossil fuel future of Victoria. It looks like the beast is stepping down, finally almost on its knees. Hazelwood is shutting down, no coal seam gas, no new coal and gas expension and Mantle, the mining company decided not to explore futher the Mirboo North region for coal. Victoria has been mining brown coal for a century. Unfortunately for them, brown coal is expensive, hard to ship from Vic, does not burn well…. Is it finally time to change our vision for our energy in our future? Cat Nadel for Environment victoria and Marg Thomas for Mirboo North @facebook.peace!
We talk to John McPherson about public transport issues and Julie McDonald about proposed mining around the Gippsland town of Mirboo North. To get in contact with the latter campaign go to Coal and CSG Free Mirboo North.
