From free hive removals and stashing colonies in the bushes to working for an experienced beekeeper and eventually buying the business, Jeremy’s journey proves that sometimes the best plans are the ones you never planned!

Jeremy also takes us behind the scenes of commercial Beekeeping in Southern California, where honey bees can keep you busy every day of the year. We talk pollination, farmers markets, honey production, queens, Varroa, and the unique challenges of keeping honey bees in a climate without much of a brood break.

Add a little ancient honey history and a warning about yellowjackets, and you've got an episode packed with bees, business, and plenty of bee-worthy laughs. Remember, it's all about the love of the bees!
