  • Ep.4 What is the "Hive Mind?"
    Oct 24 2018

    In this long overdue episode I will be taking a look at some of the most recent, as well as some past studies on the psychology and sociology of the bee and making comparisons to a hive in relation to ones brain. 

    As always if you enjoyed the show take a moment and share it with anyone who may be interested in beekeeping!

    As a quick side note, I would like to apologize for the lapse in how often I've been posting episodes, I earned a promotion at work and I haven't had much time to write or record something worthwhile.

    I'd like to include a special thanks to all of the new listeners the show has received the past months as well as some credits for the music and audio used in the episode: Dean Martin, Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller, Dave Brubeck, and James Dooley. 

    And as always- Bee safe, and Bee happy!
