Customer Reviews
Great Podcast, Confusing Name
The Hive Jive, 'cheeky name' which at first was a new episode of the great existing podcast "The Beehive Jive".
Master Beekeeper John Swan and Fisher Guide and New beekeeper Ken Milam discuss how to get started with bees. The beginning episodes are mostly getting started topics, which is great for new beekeepers to go through. So if you are beginner start at episode one.
The banter and chemistry between the hosts is great and this show has some great potential, but maybe a name change to avoid confusion with the existing Beehive Jive podcast?
Some of the newbee questions from Ken are great and are probably the very things that most new beekeepers are asking.
