Judging your Honey
Season 4 Episode 7: About Bees, Culture & Curiosity Podcast – Judging your Honey Today we judge your honey. Not by flavour, but by the tiniest nuances of bottle fill and floating specks of bee smoker ash. Our guide is the accomplished Calgary honey judge, Linda Symmes. If you have ever considered participating in the fine art of preparing for a honey competition, we spill some secrets from the hidden, anonymized world of the judge: what do judges actually look for when they consider your jar for the top prize? Does it pay to bribe the judge? These and other hints and suggestions are on today’s episode. This episode was recorded in June 2025. Please subscribe, like, love, and follow.

Spring Honey Bees
Season 4 Episode 6: About Bees, Culture & Curiosity Podcast – Spring Honey Bees Bidzina and Ron talk about the status of their hives, leading to a discussion about dandelion honey, which Ron’s colonies produced in abundance this year. An intense early flow can lead to swarming, which happened to some of Bidzina’s hives. Two migratory beekeeping mishaps are mentioned – one in Oregon, the other in Washington state. Pretty messy. Finally, should you register your bees with the government? And related - do people every level shotguns at bee inspectors? This episode was recorded in June 2025.

Alberta Native Bees in Trouble

Alberta Native Bees in Trouble
Season 4 Episode 5: About Bees, Culture & Curiosity Podcast – Alberta Native Bees in Trouble We chat about the troubles facing native bees with (ANBC) Executive Director Megan Evans. Pollinators of all sorts are essential to the health and success of our environment. Understanding the habitats and lifecycles of the 371 known species of bees in Alberta is the first step towards ensuring the prosperity of these pollinators. This is part of ANBC's work. Learning about the issues that hinder bee success is necessary before remedies can be found. Megan discusses climate change (bees can’t survive if flowers finish blooming before the bees have raised their brood); habitat loss (due to human encroachment and invasive plant species expanding into native vegetation); invasive species spreading diseases; and the impact of pesticides. To help native bees, there also needs to be enhanced awareness of the difference between wild native bees and managed bees. Among many projects, ANBC is developing a Living Lawns App to help homeowners create or restore native bee habitats – starting with a goal of one square meter (or one square yard) of landscape for the bees. A million homes following this model would add a million square meters (or yards) of living space and floral resources for native bees. We also look at calls to action that everyone can implement: learn the difference between native and managed bees; work on ecological literacy; create habitats for native bees; and get excited (bee watching is an actual event)! Finally, it was reassuring to learn that Megan, who dedicates her work to helping native bees, wasn’t always comfortable around bees. She overcame her reluctance (fear) of bee encounters by becoming curious about pollinators. Listen to this episode to see how that happened!

Thousands and Thousands and Thousands of Queens
Season 4 Episode 4: About Bees, Culture & Curiosity Podcast – Thousands and Thousands and Thousands of Queens Dedicated to the memory of Florida queen breeder David Miksa This episode was recorded two days before David Miksa passed away. His son Ted and I chat about this remarkable beekeeping family and about queen breeding in general. We jump right into our conversation, catching up with Ted at the end of a long day of his work on the farm. Among the topics covered are running mating nucs through the hot Florida summer; banking queens in Florida (and how that might work in Canada); queen importation into Canada; the way that inbreeding stock can yield unfortunate surprise results. We note that about 10% of all the managed honey bee colonies in America have queens (or queen cells) that originated at Miksa honey farm in Lake County, Florida - so we talk about the logistics of producing and selling all those queens, the nine stock lines involved and strategies to keep Africanized stock out of those queens. We wrap up noting the importance of nutrition, especially for nurse bees that are feeding developing queen larvae. And the sage advice: “Take care of the bees and they’ll take care of you.” This episode was recorded in May, 2025. Please subscribe, like, love, and follow. We live or die by your adulation.

He kept bees there for decades, producing two or three-hundred pound crop averages of beautiful white Canadian honey. He saw the transition away from package-beekeeping in Canada to nearly universal over-wintering in the far north.

The unit somewhat resembles bee houses used in but has technology and electronics similar to the developed in Israel. We discuss these types of honey bee houses and look at applications relevant to Canada. Herman's attractive BeeCube is almost entirely natural, recyclable wood and can be moved as a unit, making it possible to slide the cube, packed with over a million bees, on and off a 6-wheeled flatbed farmtruck or trailer.
