Mind Your Hives Beekeeping

Greg and Kara Jo are hanging with Evan Watson - co-owner / farmer / brewer / beekeeper of Plan Bee Farm Brewery. Evan is one of the sweetest and most unique people we've ever met. His stories about getting into the music industry out of college (cough cough touring with Meatloaf) and eventually making some of the best beer in the country are fascinating (all while bringing us back to beekeeping!) We hope you feel like you're hanging out with us too. Enjoy!

It is SUMMER and the farm is crankin'! Bee wise we're talking: honey, pulling honey frames, crowded hives, requeening, angry bees, excluders, rearranging bee boxes and more! Farm wise we're talking: meat bird success with fermented feed, mushroom log cultivation, making seasonal liqueurs and finishing up with a Herb Corner about calendula.

The Bee Farm is headed into winter. In the midst of a drought and record high temps for October and November, we're doing our best to get these bees ready for whenever winter decides to show up. Lots of farm talk, puppy talk, a ridiculous story (that comes with a @KaraJoSkinCare listener giveaway!) and a "special" Herb Corner about Wild Geranium.
