In Arizona it can get so hot that beehives actually have "meltdowns" in which melting wax and honey ooze from the hive entrance. How to avoid meltdown and help honey bees through extreme heat is the theme of our guest interview with Arizona beekeeper, Monica King.

In our discussion, Monica also explains how she "rehabs" honey bees. She is a third generation beekeeper and has loads of wisdom to share.

You'll enjoy what 'not Jeff Foxworthy' has to say about beekeepers in this episode. We also go to the South of France to learn about a revolutionary 'smokeless smoker' device.

Get in the Bee Love mood with a fun intro from the not real Jeff Foxworthy! "...You might be a beekeeper!"

How have Hurricanes Helene and Milton affected bees and beekeepers in the Southeastern U.S.? We'll take a deep dive in our interview with Andrew Wagner, a prominent Florida beekeeper. We discuss how many beehives have been lost, how forage loss will affect bees in the future, and what you can do to help.

The Bees-In-The-News segment highlights the 'cool factor' of beekeeping and how celebrities are getting involved, then a story about how air pollution is affecting bees.

This episode ends with a Wild & Crazy beekeeping story from Rob in Oregon. What do you do when you have bees inside your veil? Rob's first time ended with a bloody nose and multiple stings on his face!
