[Bonus] Short - Inside Bee Culture Magazine: Medina's Beekeeping Legacy

In this special Beekeeping Today Podcast Short, Jeff visits the historic A.I. Root Company headquarters in Medina, Ohio—the home of Bee Culture Magazine. Sitting down with the magazine's production team—Jerry Hayes, Jen Manis, and Stephanie Bayerl—Jeff explores what it takes to bring each monthly issue to life.

Listeners get a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how articles, design, photography, and advertising all come together to create the trusted magazine so many beekeepers rely on. From article coordination and layout design to QR-coded audio features and digital engagement, this conversation celebrates Bee Culture's 150-year legacy of education and innovation.

Jerry, Jen, and Stephanie share their commitment to reader involvement—from monthly honey price reports and honey recipes to the popular Catch the Buzz daily e-blast. For longtime readers and new beekeepers alike, this visit underscores how human creativity, teamwork, and passion for honey bees continue to shape modern beekeeping media.
