If you don't already know about Kamon Reynolds and his YouTube channel with over 52,000 subscribers, it's time you check him out. You'll find it on YouTube under his name or the channel's name Tennessee's Bees. There he discusses a problem, a technique, a new product, a solution, chats with a guest and more, and it's all about everything you can imagine bees, beekeeping and beekeepers. His show is laid back, easy to follow and right on with current beekeeping information, science, technology, skills and more, all in an incredibly beekeeper to beekeeper discussion. Plus, for the past 2 years he's hosted a meeting called Hive Life, a two-day extravaganza in eastern Tennessee with more than 1,000 attendees and more vendors than you can imagine. The 2023 conference in early January is already sold out, but you can sign up to be notified if more space opens up. Kamon and his wife Laura (who was keeping bees when they met) have been in the bee business over 18 years, they run over 250 wood and plastic hives, sell nucs, some queens, honey and gladly share what they know and think you might be interested in on a weekly basis. Check out their YouTube program and we'll bet there's something there for you.

We all have this ideal picture of what being an entrepreneur looks like. To many, this is quitting your job, becoming your own boss, and immediately finding success through grit. But the reality is not always smooth-sailing. Having an "all or nothing" mindset can put an end to the dreams you're pursuing. Sometimes, taking on work you don't want can get you closer to where you want to be. In this episode of The Pollen Podcast, Diana talks about how to support your entrepreneurship dream realistically. Yes, alignment and energy are important, but you won't get there by waiting for things to work out. You have to work hard and work smart, even if it means taking on jobs you don't necessarily want. So don't quit your job just yet — it can be your stepping stone toward the career that really aligns with you.

It's winter time and sure as the sky is blue (or grey – as the case may be), there will be many dead colonies out there next spring. If not in as early as in the few weeks. Winter kills in the US are running something like 40+% right now. A winter killed colony is a time, financial and frustrating thief of bees and honey and equipment. In today's episode, Kim and Jim discuss Winter Die-Offs and how to inspect the colony remains to determine what may have gone wrong.  By finding out what went wrong and why, you can make plans on what to do next year so you have live colonies, move money, more honey, lots and lots of bees, and bragging rights for getting all your colonies through next winter.

One of the largest and perhaps oldest honey shows in the world in the UK's National Honey Show. The first show opened in 1923 at the Crystal Palace, in London. While the National Honey Show took an understandable break during the second world war, it started up afterwards and is an established annual October event ever since.  The National Honey Show is a three day show highlighting honey and other hive products. There are over 250 competitive classes or categories with entries from around the world. Certainly enough to captive beekeepers of any field of interest. Besides the competition, the National Honey Show features speakers and a large trade hall full of vendors and products. In today's episode, special Beekeeping Today Podcast UK correspondent Louisa Cartwright talks with National Honey Show attendees regarding their impressions of their experience at the show. Many beekeepers keep their colonies on property owned by others. Most of the time, this presents no problem. But one of the unique challenges during the fall is the addition of hunters to the woods near the fields holding colonies. What happens when these two worlds overlap? Ed Colby is here this week to read from his book, "A Beekeeper's Life: Tales from the Bee Yard", sharing his experience in the middle of this Venn Diagram! We hope you enjoy the episode.

On today's show, Kim and Jim discuss the most common ‘complaint' a beekeeper who sells honey encounters. This is true whether you are selling from the back of your truck, at a roadside stand or even a local farmer's market. What do you tell your customer who brings you or asks you about granulated honey in the jar?  How you answer this may make the difference between a lifelong customer or someone who never buys honey again. How one addresses this is as varied as there are people who eat honey. From stove tops, to microwave ovens (don't do it), to electric blankets and even sawing the plastic bear in half (don't do this either…). Kim and Jim discuss it all. They're not talking about five gallon buckets or barrels of honey, but consumer's plastic bears, mason and queenlike jars. What is the best message for your customers so they don't needlessly throw away good honey? Listen in to the discussion. What do you you tell your customers? Let them know in the comments below!

Christine Noronha, research scientist at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in Charlottetown, P.E.I., is preparing canola farmers for pollen beetle. The invasive pest, which causes a lot of yield loss in Europe, has been in Atlantic Canada for decades and climate change could make the Prairies more hospitable. Listen to the end when host Jay Whetter asks Christine Noronha about her favourite insect.

Today, we've invited Steven Coy back to the how to provide an update on the Chinese Tallow tree and efforts to eliminate them.  Chinese Tallow was brought to the USA in the 1700's as an ornamental. They have very successfully invaded much of the Southeast US, and are moving north and west at a slow but steady rate. USDA-APHIS has declared them invasive and have introduced two insects that feast on Tallow trees to slow, and eventually stop that spread. However, Tallow trees are a valuable source of honey in the spring for US beekeepers, who manage their bees to take advantage of the honey flow to build their colonies to full strength so they can super pollinate a great deal of the crops we eat. No tallow, far, far less pollination. The American Honey Producers and the National Honey Board have combined to produce a survey to measure the full extent and value of these trees to US beekeepers and to those of us who like to eat Tallow Honey. The intent is to reduce, or better, stop the insects from destroying Tallow trees, maintain the spring honey flow and keep food on the tables of all of us. We hope you enjoy the episode.

Getting clients is hard work. But what do you do when no one seems to be coming through?  Perhaps the problem lies in your foundation — there could be cracks that are preventing potential clients from aligning with you and your offers. It all goes back to you realigning with your why. Why are you doing what you're doing? Why does it all matter? Once you do, everything will fall into place. It will cause a ripple effect in your business, pulling in the clients you want. In this episode of The Pollen Podcast, Diana talks about tactical ways to get your ideal clients, including reevaluating the cracks in your foundation. She delves into the power of realigning with your why and how it extends to your clients and offerings. When you lead with connection instead of transaction, you get back on your frequency and magnetize the right people naturally.

The Behavior of the Honey Bee in Pollen Collecting by D. B. Casteel audiobook. The value of the honey bee in cross pollinating the flowers of fruit trees makes it desirable that exact information be available concerning the actions of the bee when gathering and manipulating the pollen. The results recorded in this manuscript are also of value as studies in the behavior of the bee and will prove interesting and valuable to the bee keeper. The work here recorded was done by Dr. Casteel during the summers of 1911 and 1912.

Winter tends to have a bit more time inside than outside and one way to spend that time inside is to catch up on your reading. Jim and Kim talk a bit about the books they read, the authors and publishers they like and where they get the books they read all winter. Along with the new books, they have their preferred “old standby” books they rely on for information on a particular topic to see how management approaches have evolved (or not) over the years. Beekeeping has evolved over the years and they like to compare then with now. How do you look for a find a new bee book for your winter? Today, you have to consider how you like to read, because just as beekeeping is evolving, book formats are also evolving. Your choice is not only hardcover and all paper, it now includes electronic formats for reading on an iPad/tablet or audible for listening. Finally, how do you actually evaluate a book before your read it? Start with the author. Are they known or unknown? How about the publisher? Do they publish lots of books on the subject or is this the first one? And finally, what about the quality of the information in the book? Is it in line with standard beekeeping or is it a novel way of approaching a problem or idea. You can also check the ratings of the book online. No matter what, spend some time reading this winter. It will do you and your bees some good. We hope you enjoyed today's episode. Please follow or subscribe today and leave a comment.

On today's episode, we welcome back the good friend of the podcast, Dr. Samuel Ramsey. Also joining us today is Dr. Jim Tew, sitting in this week for Kim Flottum. Sammy joins Jeff and Jim to talk about his recent move from Maryland to Boulder, Colorado, where he is now the Endowed Professor of Entomology at CU Boulder's BioFrontiers Institute and the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department. Sammy also brings us up-to-date on the research on the Tropilaelaps mite in Thailand and how it could impact beekeepers around the world, should it take the path of the Varroa. Speaking of which, Dr. Ramsey introduces the listener to the Euvarroa Mite… think: a varroa with attitude hair. Regarding Varroa, Sammy is researching ways to control them by disrupting the varroa's use of the egg yoke protein, vitellogenin, found in the fat bodies of the honey bee. It is exciting research that may one day lead to control and management options against the Varroa mite. Also, after we stopped recording the episode, Sammy shared with us the challenges he's faced as he worked toward's his PhD in entomology. He was told repeatedly, that there  was “something just not quite right” about him to be a doctor of entomology. There were multiple attempts to hold him back and keep him out of the program. Honestly, as two white men, these challenges are unseen by Jeff and Jim. Sammy's experience is hard to hear. It is amazing that these attitudes still exist in such ‘learned' and ‘intellectually advanced' micro-societies as found in leading universities. What is unbelievable is that they are allowed to exist today. Sammy's personal story of overcoming the challenges and obstacles thrown at him were captured in the National Geographic 2022 Explorers Festival.

Why on earth would honey bee foragers go out on a freezing day in winter to collect water? Ice and snow everywhere, but there they are, trying to get a drink and bring some home for their sisters. Why? Kim and Jim explore some of the reasons why. They explore the uses of water by winter bees and where they collect it. Kim and Jim also explore aspects of ventilation, or lack thereof, in the winter. Should a beehive have lots, some or none? Industry experts continue to research. Is too much water in winter a bad thing? If there's no ventilation, what happens to all the moisture laden air in the hive? Lots and lots of questions, maybe some answers.

If you suffer from hayfever, checking the pollen forecast will likely be a part of your daily ritual - but chances are you've never thought about where those forecasts come from. Back in August, scientists and meteorologists warned Kiwis should brace for a bad spring and summer, with lots of pollen expected. Has that forecast changed? Pollen forecaster Dr David Fountain joins the show.

This week, guest co-host Jim Tew is sitting in for Kim and we have invited four beekeepers to the podcast to talk about their season just past. We call it our Regional Beekeepers show. If you have been a long time listener, you may be familiar with one or more of these beekeepers. Joining us this fall are Tracy Alarcon from Ohio, Ed Colby from Colorado, Duane Combs from Arizona and Paul Longwell from Washington State.  As beekeepers, we run the danger of living in a world limited by the confines of our own bee hives, bee yards or even region. But, it is a big world and we all must deal with the good and the bad while managing our bees.  Biology doesn't change, but it does adapt to local environments, necessitating management differences. This can be seen in the finer nuances in beekeeping techniques, schedules or other details. By bringing together our guests, we can compare and contrast some of these challenges with our own. It is alway educational and informative!  We hope you enjoy the episode. Leave comments and questions in the Comments Section of the episode's website. Thank you for listening!

Without a doubt, some of the most peaceful places on Earth are bee yards. Tranquil, serene and quiet with only the soft hum of the bees fanning the air through their hives floating on top the silence… Peaceful, except when it is not.  Have you ever worked in a distant bee yard, late at night, away from home, cell service, friends, and family? What did you hear? See anything… strange? Did anything go “bump” in the night? How'd it all go for you? On today's episode Jim and guest co-host, Jeff Ott, sit in the Honey Bee Obscura bee yard and talk about scary moments working bees. Jim has had several… moments, to share. What would you do? What did you do? They're not certain if telling scary stories, long after dark in a bee yard is the best idea they've ever had, but since it IS the season, they invite you to join them… If you dare.

Winter bees, those bees that emerge during the cold winter months when there is little to no exposure to the world outside, are very different from summer bees, which emerge during the hectic and exposed to everything bees are exposed to in their environment. In today's episode, we talk with Drs. Mohamed Amburaki and Miguel Corona, two USDA-ARS entomologists researching these differences and specifically the effects of the neonaticide imidacloprid on developing bee larvae. The environment for winter bees is almost exclusively limited to what happens inside the hive. They live months longer than summer bees. Summer bees, on the other hand, live very short lives. Summer bees are either nurse bees or foragers, or maybe both, so they are exposed to all the things their environment has to offer. One of those is exposure to pesticides, the most common is imidacloprid. It turns out, summer bees tend to prefer food given to them that has some small amount of this pesticide in it.  The speculation is that the taste is what they are used to – all summer long they ate food tainted with this pesticide. Meanwhile, winter bees, who never foraged or fed bees with nectar or pollen exposed to this pesticide, didn't like it at all and would avoid it at all costs. What this means for beekeepers is that managing your bees to avoid pesticides is the best option you can have. If you can't avoid it, be aware of your bee's tendency to favor the pesticide taste, if that is what they were raised on. It's a complicated and toxic world out there. Be aware. You can read this very well thought out USDA paper by clicking on the link provided. You may have to read it twice. We had to read it more than that, but it was well worth the time.

When you've been keeping bees for decades, sometimes you do things because that's the way you've always done them, right? But the world continues to change. It has to keep up with whatever is going on wherever it's happening. And because the world is changing, every minute of every day, doing the "same ole same ole" just because that's what you've always done isn't for maybe isn't the best choice. Beehive insulation is one of those things that maybe bees need, or don't. And what about insulation for a summer hive? If they need insulation in the winter to keep warmer, why don't they need insulation in the summer to help stay cool? If you are going to insulate, what do you use? How much, and when do you apply it? And if you aren't going to insulate, do you do anything to make winter better for the bees inside? Cool and damp may be the way to go say some honey bee researchers. Warm and dry say others. If you are losing bees each winter, you've got to change what you are doing and when you are doing it to give your bees a chance to make it to next spring. Food, water, ventilation, insulation, varroa control. All are important in a changing world, and in a changing beehive. We hope you enjoyed today's episode.

In this episode of Two Bees in a Podcast, released on October 19, 2022, Amy Vu speaks with Dr. Jamie Ellis, a researcher from the UF Honey Bee Research and Extension Laboratory on finding exposure to pesticides in urban and suburban areas within nectar and pollen. This episode concludes with a Q&A segment. Check out our website ufhoneybee.com for additional resources from today's episode.

Would you believe varroa mites, carbon dioxide and indoor wintering are working together to make keeping bees easier and more profitable? Well, believe it. Today, we talk with Dr. Brandon Hopkins from Washington State University. His research has shown that if colonies are overwintered in an environmental chamber that can control the levels of the gasses the bees are exposed to, that by adjusting the level of carbon dioxide from a normal 0.04% to over 8.5%, mites in those colonies die. Really. And what's more, the bees don't, really! Temperature was set at just about 40 degrees, the chamber was dark, and after 64 days, mite mortality was extremely high. High enough to prove that this could be a mite controlling tool to use in indoor wintering. To show a difference, another chamber was set up with a 0.12% carbon dioxide concentration, and there was a significant difference in mite mortality was recorded between the two. High carbon dioxide equally high mortality, low concentration equals low mortality. There is much more research underway. Stay tuned! We hope you enjoy the episode.

Maybe you worked too hard on your last project. Or, you exerted too much energy on a work task that ended up not working out. Whatever the case may be, burnout is a real thing that all of us experience. As its name goes, burnout drains you of your energy and motivation. It doesn't only affect how you show up in your business, but also in other aspects of life. How then do you rekindle the spark if you find yourself stuck in the burnout cycle? In this episode of The Pollen Podcast, Diana talks about the secret to navigating burnout. Burnout happens when you don't create healthy boundaries for yourself. Remember: you can't pour from an empty cup. If you think you can, then you're setting yourself up for a lot of exhaustion and unfulfillment. Recognize when you need to take a step back and put yourself first. Only in this way can you best serve your highest purpose.
