About Treatment Free Beekeeping
Hobby Beekeeping is a podcast about learning from bees. Hosted by retired psychologist and beekeeper Hank Svec, each episode explores practical beekeeping, hive entrance observations, bee research, and the questions that arise from simply spending time with bees. Rather than focusing only on techniques, the podcast looks at what bees may be teaching us through careful observation. Topics include the Three-Hive Method, hive survival, swarming, AI-assisted entrance monitoring, equipment, research, and conversations with beekeepers from beginners to experienced professionals. If we watch the bees long enough without touching them, they tell us something.

About 85% of hives or 90% of hives only have one queen. Yeah, some of the hives, they suggest 10 to 15% actually have two. Now, I don't know about this time of the year. There's very little science on this. If you are a beekeeper who looks for queens, probably you stop after you find one. […]
