Podcast Episode 22 – Top Bar Hive Style Beekeeping

craig@somdbeekeeper.com (C. Yerdon) — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 20:20:51 +0000

We cover different types of top bar hives and the management styles that go with them. Are you looking for information about alternative hive styles? Are you on the fence about using the “standard” Lang hive? Well, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for! This is all the information you need to get off the beaten path and pursue keeping bees more “naturally.” Heck, you may even save a few bucks in the process! Our guest is Matt Reed from BeeThinking.com in Portland, Oregon, USA.

Podcast Episode 20 – FatBeeMan Intro Series 3 of 3

craig@somdbeekeeper.com (C. Yerdon) — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 02:04:10 +0000

Here is the fantastic conclusion of the “Intro” series with Don the FatBeeMan. This is my personal favorite out of the three but you be the judge on which one you like best.

If you enjoyed this series and specifically Don’s teachings then you’ll be happy to know that we have another series under production. The next one is aimed squarely at the beginning beekeeper. That’s not to say that you intermediate and advanced folks won’t pick up a thing or two! They’ll be plenty of stuff for you to UNLEARN, rest assured of that!

I am proud to present a conversation with Don the FatBeeMan, owner of Dixie Bee Supply. Don is a well-known and respected teacher of all things beekeeping with 50+ years of hands-on under his belt.
Don keeps (and breeds) very gentle small-cell bees that survive without chemical treatments. Don is also an active participate on our FORUMS so take the opportunity to interact with him there and ask questions!!

* Mentioned in this episode – 4 frame Baby NUC video

Also, I highly recommend you watch the 6 short videos on the FatBeeMan YouTube channel. They are a perfect compliment to Don’s episodes on this Podcast. It will also give you more of an insight into what Don is all about. It’s worth every minute!

Cheers,
Craig

Podcast Episode 14 – Amber Rose Bee-Acupuncture How to – Series Conclusion

craig@somdbeekeeper.com (C. Yerdon) — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 03:19:19 +0000

This is the series conclusion with more in-depth how-to information on bee-acupuncture. We cover a lot of ground and there is truly a wealth of information in this episode if your mind is open to it.

Once again, I kept the play time just small enough to fit onto an audio CD for those that would like to burn a copy.

The next Podcast will be back to beekeeping. Stay tuned!

Podcast Episode 13 – Amber Rose Bee Acupuncture How-To Part 3

craig@somdbeekeeper.com (C. Yerdon) — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 03:21:15 +0000

With the third part of the series we really start to move into the how-to portion. The next and final episode in the series is probably the most heavily into the how-to with tips and tricks.

I kept the intro and outro very brief and it sounded like I was speed talking I suppose but I had to keep the audio under 80 minutes so people could burn this podcast onto a CD if they want to. Some people have told me they enjoy listening to these while they drive so I made a conscious effort to make this recording (and the next) just small enough to fit.

Podcast Episode 1 – And So It Begins…

craig@somdbeekeeper.com (C. Yerdon) — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 01:31:58 +0000

Here it is, the episode that started it all. Its fun for me to go back and listen to this since so much time has gone by. I have learned so much since then but yet so much of the “book knowledge” I had down pat back then is still proving tricky to implement. However, I am pleased to say that I have not waivered much at all from the information presented in this episode. Its as true now as it was then.

Enjoy,
-=Craig
