Beekeeping At Five Apple Farm Podcast

Today's episode starts with a rambling overview of how things are around here in the beeyard from hive beetles to one year mark from the WNC floods. Then a discussion of a YouTube interview with the legendary Vermont beekeeper for 50 years, Michael Palmer who says being "near row crops" is seriously hurting his beekeeping in a severe new way. Then a related article I happened to find on how neonics make varroa destructor much more destructive. I encourage you to listen to the two part video interview presented by Inside The Hive TV, a YouTube channel with some very interesting interviews.  Links to the material discussed: Part One of the YouTube featured on the Inside the Hive TV channel. Part Two is here. Part Three is just a short about Palmer talking about the book he is still trying to write. And OH I hope he does! Here's the article I quote from in Entomology Today. Keep heart dear beekeepers. Keep on keeping on. –Leigh   -- https://www.patreon.com/fiveapple Not a patron yet? You are warmly invited to be
