1.1 Million Honey Bee Colonies Dead, Worst in Decades

Our guest on this episode is Chris Hiatt, commercial beekeeper and past president of the American Honey Producers Association. The topic of conversation is this winter's severe colony loss, especially with commercial beekeepers. We discuss the amount of losses, possible causes and prevention techniques. Other topics include the annual schedule of commercial beekeepers, the love of honey bees and the business, a wild & crazy beekeeping story, plus much much more.
