Bee safe and bee happy!

In this long overdue episode I will be taking a look at some of the most recent, as well as some past studies on the psychology and sociology of the bee and making comparisons to a hive in relation to ones brain. 

As always if you enjoyed the show take a moment and share it with anyone who may be interested in beekeeping!

As a quick side note, I would like to apologize for the lapse in how often I've been posting episodes, I earned a promotion at work and I haven't had much time to write or record something worthwhile.

I'd like to include a special thanks to all of the new listeners the show has received the past months as well as some credits for the music and audio used in the episode: Dean Martin, Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller, Dave Brubeck, and James Dooley. 

And as always- Bee safe, and Bee happy!

A crash course lesson on the very dynamic and intriguing history of beekeeping, as always if you enjoy the show feel free to share it!

In this episode I cover some basic equipment needed to begin beekeeping, as well as some custom equipment I've made on my own. 

The first episode of a podcast about beekeeping created by a beekeeper- for beekeepers, I hope to release longer episodes in the future covering a variety of topics on the subject of bees and the practice of keeping them. Enjoy!
