Beekeeping Today Podcast5 Jun 2023

Late Spring Regional Beekeepers Update (S5, E51)

"All beekeeping is local" so the saying goes. On today's episode, we welcome back our Regional Beekeepers, all from different parts of the country, to see just how localized beekeeping can be. And how much it can be the same, too.

Today we've asked Rainier Eich (Maine), Mark Smith (North Carolina), Tracy Alarcon (Ohio), Jay Williams(Tennessee), Ed Colby (Colorado), Duane Combs (Arizona) and Paul Longwell (Washington) to talk about their past winter season, the challenges they faced in their area and how they are addressing them. The "Regionals" range from backyard hobbyist to sideline beekeepers. Chemical free and local breeding to larger expanding operations.

Is there a beekeeper here that represents you? Your seasons? Your challenges? What are you doing differently? What are you doing that is the same? Listen today and find out!

Also today, we announce our new partnership with Betterbee Beekeeping Supplies as our Key Sponsor. Betterbee has been a sponsoring BTP episodes since 2020! Betterbee's dedication to the beekeeper is demonstrated by their focus on beekeeper education, as well as selling quality beekeeping products used by their own beekeeper employees. They actually use what they sell. They KNOW what they sell. Betterbee is Beekeepers Serving Beekeepers. We are delighted and honored to have Betterbee as our Key Sponsor. Thank you, Betterbee!
