Beekeeping Today Podcasts
The podcasts “Beekeeping Today” happen to be a personal favorite so imagine my delight to be invited to be a guest. Mark your calendars for Monday, June 14, 2021 and make sure to check it out for their other guests including Dr. Samuel Ramsey, who discovered how Varroa mites impact bees.
Kim Flotum and Jeff Ott host a conversation that reaches more than 5,000 listeners and is considered one of the top 10 beekeeping podcasts available today.
Kim was the first to reach out to me after seeing a copy of “A Beekeeper’s Diary Self-Guide to Beekeeping.” Jeff Ott followed up with the details of how the podcast is taped for later broadcast. Even though this is only an audio production, the three of us could see each other via Zoom, which helped make the discussion much more conversational.
It was interesting to hear what parts of the book Kim and Jeff enjoyed and why. We all agreed “A Beekeeper’s Diary Self-Guide to Beekeeping” is uniquely different from beginning beekeeping books.
Both Kim and Jeff are beekeepers themselves with impressive professional backgrounds. If you’ve read “Bee Culture Magazine” you may know Kim as their editor in chief. Kim also hosts a podcast with Jim Tew that is very interesting, the Kim and Jim Show covers an eclectic list of topics including major changes in beekeeping.
As a beekeeper one of the challenges is to stay on top of current information and developments, and both of these podcasts makes that easier.
And if you enjoy podcasts. Dr. Kirsten Traynor just launched her podcasts on pollinators.
