Hives For Heroes
from Bee Love Beekeeping... presented by Mann Lake
In this episode, we’re diving into the joys, challenges, and surprises of life with honey bees. From listener stories to an inspiring interview, it’s a wild ride in the world of beekeeping. We kick things off with a fun “You might be a beekeeper if…” segment that’ll have you nodding (and laughing) along. Ever get stung through your suit or realize fondant isn’t just for cakes? Yeah, you’re one of us. Listener Wild & Crazy Beekeeping Stories Grab your smoker and settle in because you won’t believe these tales: Rosie shares her pregnancy and beekeeping adventure, including defensive bees and, let’s just say, an adrenaline rush. Alicia learns the hard way why black gloves and smashing bees aren’t the best combo—broken arm and all. Ouch! Spotlight Interview: Hives for Heroes We’re thrilled to welcome Steve Jimenez, founder of Hives for Heroes. He’s doing amazing work connecting veterans and first responders with the calming, purposeful world of bees. Steve shares how honey bees helped him and others heal from PTSD and other challenges. Spoiler: It’s not just about keeping bees; it’s about building community, finding purpose, and sometimes even starting a business. _______________ Special thanks to our presenting sponsor, Mann Lake! https://www.mannlakeltd.com/ https://www.beelovebeekeeping.com/ https://hivesforheroes.org/
