In this episode of Beekeeping Today Podcast, Jeff and Becky talk with Rowdy Freeman, a deputy sheriff from California who has become a leading figure in the fight against beehive theft. What began as a criminal investigation over a decade ago drew Rowdy into the world of bees, and today he's not only a law enforcement expert but also a commercial beekeeper managing over 1,200 colonies. Rowdy shares how hive theft has grown into a serious agricultural crime, especially during almond pollination season in California. He explains the tactics thieves use, from stealing entire hives to removing bees from within colonies, and how difficult it can be to trace stolen bees once they've changed hands. Drawing on his experience in both law enforcement and beekeeping, Rowdy offers practical advice for protecting colonies, including using GPS trackers, wireless cameras, and clearly marked equipment. He also discusses how building strong relationships with landowners and reporting even small thefts can help authorities track patterns and intervene. With theft numbers rising and colony losses reaching record highs, Rowdy's perspective is timely and vital. This episode shines a light on an often-overlooked threat facing beekeepers and reminds listeners of the importance of vigilance and community support in protecting our bees.

The No Good Very Bad Wedding Day and Wrong Medication by Maine's Coast 93.1

I answered a question many have asked: How does it feel, as a father, to see your son get married?My answer? I feel complete.This moment carries the weight of a life marked by trauma, fear, anger, and anxiety—emotions not unfamiliar to Jesus' disciples on the day He died. But just like them, I too was met with a moment of peace I never expected.He showed up. And He said, “Peace be with you.”This video is more than a reaction—it's a testimony.

In this episode of the Colours & Flavours podcast, I shared personal stories and tips for planning a wedding and enjoying your wedding events. I discussed the importance of identifying your non-negotiables, accepting help from others, trusting your instincts, and maintaining a positive mindset to enjoy your wedding.

In this episode, Jeff and Becky welcome Amy Floyd and Everett Hendrixon of Dalan Animal Health back to the podcast to discuss the latest developments surrounding honey bee vaccination. With spring queen orders underway, many beekeepers are exploring the option of vaccinated queens to help protect their colonies from brood diseases and beyond. Amy, head of beekeeper relations and a former USDA researcher, shares her journey into beekeeping and how she came to work with Dalan. Everett, Dalan's sales manager, offers insights into the commercial side of introducing this new technology to the industry. Together, they provide updates on the AFB vaccine's acceptance and distribution, and importantly, highlight emerging evidence that the vaccine may also help reduce other serious threats, including deformed wing virus (DWV), chalkbrood, and sacbrood. The episode dives into how the vaccine works—not with needles, but via queen candy—and explains the principle of transgenerational immune priming. The team also explores recent field trials demonstrating up to 90% reduction in DWV, even in colonies with similar varroa levels, and how these unexpected benefits may shift how beekeepers think about disease prevention. Whether you're a hobbyist or a sideliner considering new management tools this season, this episode offers valuable context on one of the most exciting health innovations for honey bees today.

In this episode of Beekeeping Today Podcast, certified honey judge Stephanie Slater joins Jeff and Becky to demystify the art and science of honey shows. From understanding how entries are judged to tips on preparing award-winning honey, Stephanie shares her journey from entering her first show in 2019 to becoming Wisconsin's first certified judge through the American Honey Show Training Council. Stephanie discusses what makes a honey show entry stand out—from reading the rules (yes, seriously!) to selecting high-quality jars, preventing bubbles, and even traveling with honey safely. She shares insights into the Black Jar competition (hint: it's all about flavor), gives pro tips for preparing entries, and explains why feedback from judges is so important for improving and learning. The conversation also explores the steps required to become a certified honey judge, including training, stewarding, judging exams, and why these standards matter to elevate honey and beekeeping as a whole. Whether you're new to honey competitions or considering becoming a judge yourself, this episode is packed with guidance, encouragement, and a healthy dose of enthusiasm. If you've ever thought, “I could enter my honey,” or “What do judges look for?”—this is the episode for you!

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 7th of April, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Zachariah 3:4: “Take away the filthy garments from him.” And to him He said, “See, I have removed your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you with rich robes.” A beautiful promise from the Lord, to take away all of our sin. Then we go to the Book of Revelation 19:8: “And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.” Yes, we are talking about the marriage day, that wonderful, wonderful occasion when you and I will meet our beloved Jesus Christ, our Bridegroom. The Lord is preparing a great marriage feast for you and me when we meet Him in Heaven. You and I are the church and the bride, and Jesus is the Bridegroom. I want to ask you a question. Are you ready? Am I ready? You know, I love weddings. I have had the privilege of marrying off my children and my grandchildren. What an occasion it is! The excitement when the mothers are getting the food ready, the bride and the bridesmaids are getting their dresses ready, the bridegrooms are cleaned up. These boys have had a nice shave. They are ready with their beautiful suits on. It is an incredible occasion, the flowers in the church are magnificent. It is a joyous occasion and lots of fun.I remember, my very dear brother in Christ - his son was getting married to my youngest daughter, and he offered his vintage tractor. Yes, it was an inheritance he got from his grandfather and I want to say to you, this tractor was imported from England and was working up in Central Africa. He brought it to the farm and said he would drive my daughter and me to the chapel in this tractor. What a wonderful machine. Pop, pop, pop as it went up the hill, but it did have a little bit of a problem with the exhaust. There was a lot of black smoke and maybe even the occasional drop of oil. Now, my daughter had a beautiful white dress on! Aah, but we sorted that out because we gave her a lovely umbrella, but I want to say to you today there must be no oil, there must be nothing in our garments that will tarnish the wedding day. The Lord said He has given us new garments and we need to go to church, we need to go to the wedding day, clean. Are we ready for that great and wonderful day when we meet our beloved Jesus face to face?Prepare yourself because that day is coming very soon. Jesus bless you and goodbye.

Illana Karcinski, co-founder of Fairytale Pet Care, a unique wedding day pet care company, discusses her entrepreneurial journey, revealing how the idea originated from observing a common problem in the hospitality industry where couples struggled with including their pets in their wedding. She explains how Fairytale Petcare offers a range of services including pet sitting, round trip transportation, attire rentals, and even a 'Dog of Honor' video service. Initially self-funded with minimal investment, Ilana and her co-founder grew the company by leveraging their hospitality and pet care experience. They later expanded through franchising after extensive research and trial. The conversation also covers their Shark Tank experience, which significantly boosted inquiries and led to new franchise openings. Fairytale Petcare emphasizes low startup costs, potential for scalability, and continuous quality service. They also focus on giving back by helping homeless animals find homes through various charitable programs. Ilana provides insights on social media strategies that have worked for them and the importance of asking for help and utilizing local entrepreneurial resources. Overall, the interview is a deep dive into how Fairytale Petcare not only meets a market need but also creates magical experiences for pets and owners alike.

Online beekeeping education has come a long way—and the University of Montana is leading the way. In this episode, Jeff and Becky talk with Dr. Scott Debnam, head beekeeper and lead instructor for UM's Online Master Beekeeping Program, about how the program has evolved over the past 12 years and why it continues to grow. Scott shares how the program balances science-based instruction with practical application. Rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all approach, students learn honey bee biology and colony ecology so they can make informed decisions that fit their goals, values, and local conditions. The program's three levels—apprentice, journeyman, and master—are structured to build experience over time, with engaging lectures, moderated forums, and even student-led research. Students come from across the U.S. and over 25 countries, and their questions, experience, and feedback shape the program's dynamic learning environment. Scott's enthusiasm for teaching and his love for bees are front and center in this conversation, which highlights the value of structured learning, community interaction, and lifelong curiosity in becoming a better beekeeper.

Beekeeping has evolved significantly over the years, and few innovations have sparked as much conversation as the Flow Hive. In this episode, Jeff and Becky welcome back Flow Hive co-founder, Cedar Anderson, who shares exciting updates on their latest innovation—the Superlifter. Designed to make hive inspections easier and more accessible for beekeepers of all experience levels, the Superlifter allows for effortless lifting of heavy honey supers, reducing strain on beekeepers' backs and improving hive management. Cedar shares the journey behind this invention, including years of prototyping and refining the design. With a simple, easy-to-use system, the Superlifter works with any Langstroth hive—making it a game-changer for beekeepers who struggle with heavy lifting. Jeff and Becky discuss how this tool could revolutionize hive inspections, especially for beekeepers with physical limitations. Beyond product development, Cedar dives into Flow Hive's commitment to education and sustainability, including the Billions of Blossoms initiative, which has already resulted in the planting of over 1.5 million trees to restore pollinator habitats. The team at Flow Hive continues to expand its educational offerings through TheBeekeeper.org, helping both new and experienced beekeepers improve their skills. Join us for this insightful conversation about the intersection of innovation, sustainability, and making beekeeping more accessible to all.

Krisy Thomas, Co-Host and Vice President of the CWP Society, is joined by special guest Hailey Beard to tackle a game-changing topic for wedding planners: transforming assistants into assets, not liabilities.Ever wonder why some weddings flow perfectly while others face constant hiccups? The secret often lies not with the lead planner, but with how well they've prepared their assistant team.When wedding day assistants aren't properly equipped, they become a liability rather than an asset.

From creating detailed, strength-based task lists to providing comprehensive documentation that prevents embarrassing mix-ups with clients, her approach eliminates the guesswork that leads to wedding day disasters.You'll discover why pre-wedding planning meetings trump day-of instructions, how to establish clear communication protocols for emergencies, and which uncomfortable conversations about professional standards you absolutely must have before wedding day arrives. Haileyalso shares her strategy for finding assistants whose values align with your brand, including the simple coffee date question that reveals everything about a candidate's approach to client service.Whether you're struggling with unreliable assistants who cancel last minute,  or simply looking to elevate your execution, this episode provides actionable strategies to transform your support team into your greatest competitive advantage.Visit cwpsociety.com to access more resources and explore our membership levels designed to elevate your wedding planning business.www.cwpsociety.com | info@cwpsociety.com | IG: @cwpsociety | FB: @cwpsociety

In this episode of Beekeeping Today Podcast, Jeff and Becky welcome an extraordinary young researcher, Vince Wu, a high school senior and Davidson Fellow Scholarship winner. Vince's groundbreaking research combines artificial intelligence and honey bee foraging behavior, using radio frequency identification (RFID) tracking and deep learning models to predict how weather influences bee foraging activity. Vince's project, which started as a personal exploration of beekeeping and science, turned into a sophisticated study that gathered over 50,000 data points. He tracked individual foraging flights across three hives using RFID tags and monitored concurrent weather conditions to build predictive models. His findings provide insight into how sunlight, temperature, and other environmental factors influence honey bee foraging. Before diving into Vince's research, Dr. Dewey Caron shares another insightful audio postcard, this time focusing on winter colony losses and the importance of performing necropsies on deadouts. He explains how beekeepers can better understand colony mortality by examining key indicators such as starvation, small winter clusters, and Varroa mite infestations. Dewey also discusses recent survey results on colony losses, highlighting the ongoing challenges beekeepers face in maintaining healthy colonies. If you've ever wondered how technology is shaping the future of beekeeping and pollination science, this is an episode you won't want to miss!

Click to Subscribe: https://bit.ly/Youtube-Subscribe-SoapDirt Young and the Restless sees Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) is blissfully unaware of the disaster that could shatter her impending nuptials with Alan Laurent (Christopher Cousins). Traci is overjoyed about her engagement to Alan, but the grim reality is that the man she is engaged to might actually be Martin, Alan's sociopathic twin brother. Last year, Traci met Alan, who was a psychiatrist and a friend of her sister Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson). The plot took a shocking turn when Alan's evil twin brother Martin Laurent (Christopher Cousins) started impersonating him, leading to a major scuffle in Paris that supposedly culminated in Martin's death. However, recent events suggest that it might be Alan who died, and Martin who is posing as Alan on the CBS soap opera. Young and Restless sees that Traci believes she is engaged to Alan, but the evidence points towards Martin being the one who proposed. Fans were left aghast when Martin was seen spying on Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) and Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) via an app on his phone. The sinister nature of his actions suggests that Traci might have unknowingly been dating Martin all along, and that he has been manipulating her since their time in Paris. The suspicions about Martin's impersonation of Alan are further strengthened when he starts neglecting his professional obligations. As a psychiatrist, Martin would not be able to convincingly carry out Alan's responsibilities, adding more credence to the theory.

Scaling a beekeeping operation comes with unique challenges and opportunities, and in this episode of Beekeeping Today Podcast, Minnesota beekeeper Ritchie Schaeffer shares his firsthand experience moving from hobbyist to sideliner. Starting in 2018 with just a few hives, Ritchie built B2B Honey into a successful business by seizing market opportunities, developing key relationships, and staying adaptable in the ever-changing world of beekeeping. In this conversation, Ritchie discusses the challenges of almond pollination, the advantages and struggles of transitioning to indoor wintering, and how he markets his honey to restaurants, distilleries, and direct consumers. He also highlights the growing demand for specialty honey products like creamed and hot honey, the importance of diversifying hive locations, and the hard-earned lessons that helped him refine his approach to beekeeping as a business. Throughout the discussion, Ritchie emphasizes the critical role of strategic planning, risk management, and maintaining strong bee health in an operation's success. Whether you're considering expanding your own beekeeping business or simply curious about what it takes to move beyond hobbyist beekeeping, this episode is full of valuable insights from someone who has navigated the process firsthand.

In this episode of the Upscaling from Hobbyist to Sideliner series, we explore the business side of beekeeping with two beekeepers who successfully made the leap. Hosts Jeff Ott and Becky Masterman are joined by Tara Dawn Chapman of Two Hives Honey in Austin, Texas, and Jay Williams of Williams Honey Farm in Tennessee. Tara and Jay share their personal journeys—both of which began outside of agriculture—detailing their challenges, missteps, and the pivotal moments that shaped their businesses. From scaling their apiaries to diversifying their revenue streams, they offer practical advice for beekeepers looking to turn their passion into a sustainable business. One of the biggest lessons they emphasize is that beekeeping businesses don't have to rely solely on honey sales. Both guests discuss the role of agribusiness opportunities, including hive tours, honey tastings, VIP yard management, and B2B partnerships. They highlight the importance of branding, marketing, and pricing honey appropriately, noting that storytelling and quality presentation can dramatically increase a product's perceived value. Throughout the conversation, they reflect on the pitfalls of trying to do everything at once and why finding a niche is key. They explain how agritourism can supplement income, even in regions with inconsistent honey flows, and share insights on hiring employees in a beekeeping business. The discussion also covers state and federal grants that beekeepers can apply for to expand operations, and why pricing honey at premium rates is often more sustainable than undercutting the market. If you're thinking about expanding your beekeeping beyond the hobbyist level, this episode is packed with insights, strategies, and real-world advice from beekeepers who have successfully made the transition. If you're looking to make honey harvesting more manageable and efficient, this episode provides the guidance you need to take the next step.

In the second episode of our February series, Upscaling from Hobbyist to Sideliner Beekeeper, Jeff and Becky continue the conversation with returning guests Dr. Meghan Milbrath and Ana Heck from Michigan State University. This week's focus is on one of the most critical—and often costly—aspects of growing a beekeeping operation: equipment and logistics. Meghan and Ana share their insights on how to strategically manage equipment as your apiary grows, covering everything from the pros and cons of building versus buying hive components to making decisions about palletizing, bottom boards, and the use of queen excluders. They discuss the importance of maintaining consistency with equipment sizes, the benefits of using migratory versus telescoping covers, and how to manage hive configurations for both honey production and overwintering. The conversation also dives into the practicalities of scaling up, such as selecting vehicles for beekeeping operations, deciding when (or if) a forklift makes sense, and managing outyards. Meghan and Ana offer valuable advice on finding and maintaining good relationships with landowners, how many colonies to place in a single yard, and even strategies for negotiating yard rent—often paid in honey! Whether you're considering your first expansion or already managing dozens of colonies, this episode offers practical tips, real-world experiences, and thoughtful advice to help you grow efficiently and sustainably.

Are you thinking about growing your beekeeping operation from hobbyist to sideliner? In this first episode of our February Upscaling Your Beekeeping series, Jeff and Becky sit down with two experienced beekeepers and educators, Meghan Milbrath and Ana Heck, to explore what it takes to successfully expand your apiary. Meghan, an assistant professor at Michigan State University and a seasoned beekeeper, shares her experiences running her own beekeeping business while balancing research and extension work. Ana, an apiculture extension educator with MSU, brings her insights into managing a growing bee operation while supporting pollinators beyond the apiary. They discuss how to know when you're ready to upscale and you're looking for a way to turn beekeeping into a sustainable side business. Meghan and Ana share their thoughts on the financial and time commitments of growing an apiary, highlighting the balance between beekeeping, work, and family life. They also explore the best ways to increase colony numbers, including whether to split your own bees or buy new ones, and why strong management skills are key to sustainable growth. The conversation also dives into different paths for an expanding beekeeping business. Should you focus on honey production, queen rearing, nuc sales, or pollination services? Each choice comes with its own challenges and advantages. Efficiency is another key factor. How do seasoned beekeepers manage large numbers of colonies quickly and effectively? Meghan and Ana offer insights into hive inspections, explaining how experienced beekeepers can determine colony health in under a minute. Whether you're considering expanding to 50 hives or 200, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you make informed decisions. Don't miss it! Listen Today!

Doreen and Ken were high school sweethearts more than half a century ago. (You can hear more about their love story in EP 496.) But they parted ways in 1973, met and married their spouses, and had children. Doreen's marriage ended in divorce 27 years ago, and Ken's marriage ended in July 2023 when cancer took his wife Snoopy from him. Her dying wish was that he remarry and find happiness again. Since they were living in different halves of California, Ken phoned Doreen and asked if she'd be open to getting "reaquainted" after all these years. She quickly said "yes," and on January 18th of this new year, they got married!  In this special edition of the podcast, Doreen and Ken open up about what was extra special about their ceremony and how their relationship now feels even closer after getting married to each other.
