Each November, I like to remind myself that one of my favourite beekeepers has had another birthday anniversary. The beekeeper is Dr. Richard Taylor and he would have been 106 years old on November 5th. But the great philosopher-beekeeper died over 20 years ago.

This November’s Richard Taylor memorial is on the podcast, About Bees, Culture, and Curiosity. You can listen to this episode on this podcast’s website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast places. Hope you enjoy it!

This episode was recorded in November 2025. 

There are already over 60 episodes of About Bees, Culture, and Curiosity. And you can listen to all of them completely free. I’m amazed that I have so many already. Sort of like when you are extracting honey. At first, just a few drops piddle out of the extractor, then a few hours later, you have some containers filled. Soon, a big truck arrives to haul off a semi load of 65 big steel drums of honey. It’s been like this with the podcast.

By now, almost everyone knows how to access a podcast. Mine – About Bees, Culture, and Curiosity – can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podbean, iHeart Radio, Player FM, Deezer, and a dozen other places – including this special website for my podcast. Go to your favourite app on your phone or computer and enjoy.
