Greatest podcast on bees. Funny and informative.
Amazing informational podcast
I recently have decided I wanted to keep bee and know NOTHING about bees. This podcast turned up on tik tok so I gave it a go. I have started from the beginning and it has so much information! Some pod cast I can’t stick with because it’s monotone or drags out; this one doesn’t. I have messaged them on social media and they had a quick response and put up with my questions (very confused gal here). Defiantly recommend to anyone wanting to start a hive!
Awesome Podcast!
Great information for novice and experienced beekeepers alike. Plus you get to learn from Ken’s mistakes. Great podcast!!!
