Season 4 Episode 6: About Bees, Culture & Curiosity Podcast – Spring Honey Bees  

Bidzina and Ron talk about the status of their hives, leading to a discussion about dandelion honey, which Ron’s colonies produced in abundance this year. An intense early flow can lead to swarming, which happened to some of Bidzina’s hives.

Two migratory beekeeping mishaps are mentioned – one in Oregon, the other in Washington state. Pretty messy.

Finally, should you register your bees with the government? And related - do people every level shotguns at bee inspectors?
