In this episode of The Beehive Yourself Show, I chat with Will Messenger about beekeeping history. Many might know Will as a beekeeping historian and an expert on the Stewarton Hive.

Will gives a summary of his beekeeping career, and challenges some of the conventional wisdom about the historical developments of beekeeping. Will is currently writing a book(s) about beekeeping history, and we talk about some of the topic areas he will be writing about.

Also, we discus the loss of historical beekeeping source material, and how people can find more on this topic.

A big thank you to Will Messenger for coming on the podcast.
