In this episode, Jeff and Becky are joined by Dr. Jim Tew to discuss the little nagging issues every beekeeper face, humorously termed "bee peeves." Jim, a seasoned beekeeper and co-host of the Honey Bee Obscura podcast, brings his extensive experience and wit to the conversation, making this episode both enlightening and entertaining.
Jim shares his thoughts on the perennial problem of keeping smoker fuel dry and having it on hand when needed most. He humorously recounts times when running out of fuel in the middle of an inspection led to frantic searches for leaves and twigs, often resulting in unintended consequences like poison ivy exposure.
Becky and Jeff also share their frustrations, from dealing with the sticky aftermath of honey spills to the unpredictability of how long inspections will take. They highlight the difficulty of estimating time needed for hive visits, which often leads to underestimating the time commitment and subsequent delays in their schedules.
Jim discusses his dislike of unexpected stings, especially those that occur outside of the bee yard. He vividly describes the chaos of being stung by a bee that finds its way up a pant leg or under glasses, turning what should be a peaceful task into a painful and frantic experience.
Throughout the episode, Jim, Becky, and Jeff's lighthearted approach to these common bee peeves offers listeners a chance to laugh and commiserate. Their stories and insights provide both seasoned beekeepers and newcomers with practical advice and reassurance that they are not alone in facing these everyday challenges.
Join us for this candid and humorous discussion, and feel free to share your own bee peeves with us.

In this engaging episode, Jeff and Becky welcome Frank Linton, a seasoned beekeeper and author with a deep passion for observation hives. Frank shares his unique journey into beekeeping, sparked by his grandfather's influence and reignited years later with his first observation hive. Listeners will be captivated by Frank's enthusiasm and extensive knowledge as he discusses the intricacies and benefits of keeping observation hives.
Frank explains the appeal of observation hives, highlighting their educational value and the fascinating insights they offer into bee behavior. He contrasts temporary observation hives often seen at fairs and markets with permanent setups that provide year-round observation opportunities.
Listeners will learn about the key considerations for setting up a successful observation hive. Frank emphasizes the importance of having the hive only one frame wide, ensuring it's easy to manage and observe. He also shares practical tips on hive placement, both inside and outside the home, and the importance of maintaining proper lighting to enhance visibility.
Frank discusses the maintenance of observation hives, and the benefits of having a backup hive for the occasional bee transfers.
This episode provides a wealth of information for beekeepers interested in observation hives, from selecting the right hive to managing it effectively. Frank’s practical advice and firsthand experiences offer valuable guidance for anyone looking to enhance their beekeeping practice with an observation hive.
