Season 1 Episode 12:  About Bees, Culture & Curiosity Podcast – Bees by the Number

Check out our latest podcast! In this episode, we manage to jump around the bee world by using the numbers 1, 2, 2-3, 26, 500, 20,000, 45,000, and 50,000. That’s a healthy range of handsome numbers!

One queen? Not always. What about zero queens plus laying workers? Or more than one queen? Did you know that some beekeepers quit running two-queen colonies because the hives made so much honey they became impractical to add supers on top?

Two words. Please folks, it is honey bee, not honeybee. Two words. Beehive, one word. Bee yard, two words. We explore why it’s important to use words correctly, then we get into a discussion of ‘robbing’ the bees and all the baggage that the word ‘robbing’ carries. Then we naturally start talking about witches.

Why 2-3 and the numbers 26 and 500? Then we go to some big numbers – 20,000, 45,000 and 50,000. You’ll have to listen to find out what those are about. Curious? Let’s go!
