Solutions for a Simpler Life Lehman's

Learn from local homesteading expert Karen Geiser as she talks about what it's like to farm where you live. Adapting to your area's conditions, bartering with those in the community and knowing the importance of those bugs and bees that might not be realized by most.

Sarah Coblentz, bee keeping enthusiast and wife of Zach Coblentz, Lehman's President, gives us the buzz about bees. We talk about getting started in bee keeping, the benefits of fresh pure honey and how hives “bee-have”. She is a wealth of information and has tips for those interested in trying their hand at bee keeping themselves. Buzz on in and give a listen!
 
Note: This podcast was previously recorded in February 2024. When Sarah mentions the things she is doing with her bees “right now” she is talking about the colder month of February.
