    InsideTheHive.TV with Dr. Humberto Bonscristiani (332)
    May 5 2025
    In this episode, Jeff and Becky welcome Dr. Humberto Boncristiani, bee biologist, educator, and founder of InsideTheHive.TV. Humberto shares his compelling journey from growing up with Africanized bees in Brazil to becoming a leading voice in honey bee health research and education. He discusses how his scientific work—ranging from virology to applied honey bee biology—supports commercial beekeepers and emerging technologies. With clients like Dalan Animal Health and ToBe, Humberto helps test products, troubleshoot colony problems, and translate observational knowledge into measurable outcomes. He also explains the challenges of bringing new products to market in the beekeeping industry, where trust and credibility matter more than flashy marketing. Beyond consulting, Humberto is known for his widely respected YouTube channel and free newsletter. He breaks down complex research into accessible language, helping beekeepers worldwide better understand the science behind their bees. His unique “Inside the Hive Academy” offers training in scientific thinking and evidence-based decision-making for those wanting to go deeper. Whether you’re a backyard beginner or managing thousands of colonies, Humberto’s message is clear: listen to your bees, challenge assumptions, and never stop learning.

  • [BONUS] Short - Dr. Dewey Caron - Swarming

    [BONUS] Short - Dr. Dewey Caron - Swarming
    Apr 30 2025

    In this Beekeeping Today Podcast Short, Dr. Dewey Caron returns with an “audio postcard” on one of spring’s biggest challenges: swarming. In less than 20 minutes, Dewey breaks down the science and management strategies of swarming across three communication levels—bee scientist to beekeeper, beekeeper to bees, and bee to bee.

    Dewey emphasizes that successful beekeeping often hinges on managing three core issues: overwintering, varroa control, and swarming. Drawing from scientific literature, field experience, and behavioral cues, he details proactive and reactive swarm management practices—from requeening and early supering to Demaree splits, Snelgrove boards, and shook swarms.

    He also explores the signals bees send each other—pheromones, body heat, piping calls, and buzz running—that guide the colony toward swarming and relocation. If you’re looking to better understand how to read your bees this spring and respond before the swarm takes flight, this episode is packed with insights you can put to work in your own apiary.

  • Tropilaelaps and Varroa Update with Dr. Samuel Ramsey (331)

    Tropilaelaps and Varroa Update with Dr. Samuel Ramsey (331)
    Apr 28 2025
    Dr. Samuel Ramsey returns to the podcast with jaw-dropping updates from his global research into Tropilaelaps and Varroa mites. In this fast-paced and eye-opening conversation, Sammy shares the latest findings from his Honey Bee-nome Project, including recent fieldwork in the Philippines, rat–mite mysteries, and the alarming resilience of Tropilaelaps mites in cold climates. Listeners will hear how Sammy and his international team are sequencing the genomes of all honey bee species and their parasites to build a global reference library—a bold step toward proactive defense against emerging threats. He also breaks down what’s still unknown about tropi mites, including their possible overwintering behavior, alternative hosts, and the unsettling risk of co-infestation with Varroa. Jeff and Becky dig into the broader implications of Sammy’s work: What happens if Tropilaelaps enters North America? Are our current monitoring and response systems up to the task? And how are his graduate students pushing the boundaries of parasitology research? This episode is packed with science, storytelling, and urgency—and a few moments of humor (including a “don’t-take-a-selfie-with-a-giant-bee-colony” cautionary tale). Whether you’re new to beekeeping or have years behind the veil, this conversation is a must-listen.

  • Tracking Hive Theft with Deputy Sheriff Rowdy Freeman (330)

    Tracking Hive Theft with Deputy Sheriff Rowdy Freeman (330)
    Apr 21 2025
    In this episode of Beekeeping Today Podcast, Jeff and Becky talk with Rowdy Freeman, a deputy sheriff from California who has become a leading figure in the fight against beehive theft. What began as a criminal investigation over a decade ago drew Rowdy into the world of bees, and today he’s not only a law enforcement expert but also a commercial beekeeper managing over 1,200 colonies. Rowdy shares how hive theft has grown into a serious agricultural crime, especially during almond pollination season in California. He explains the tactics thieves use, from stealing entire hives to removing bees from within colonies, and how difficult it can be to trace stolen bees once they’ve changed hands. Drawing on his experience in both law enforcement and beekeeping, Rowdy offers practical advice for protecting colonies, including using GPS trackers, wireless cameras, and clearly marked equipment. He also discusses how building strong relationships with landowners and reporting even small thefts can help authorities track patterns and intervene. With theft numbers rising and colony losses reaching record highs, Rowdy’s perspective is timely and vital. This episode shines a light on an often-overlooked threat facing beekeepers and reminds listeners of the importance of vigilance and community support in protecting our bees.

  • Dalan Animal Health – Vaccine Updates & Breakthrough Discoveries (329)

    Dalan Animal Health – Vaccine Updates & Breakthrough Discoveries (329)
    Apr 14 2025
    In this episode, Jeff and Becky welcome Amy Floyd and Everett Hendrixon of Dalan Animal Health back to the podcast to discuss the latest developments surrounding honey bee vaccination. With spring queen orders underway, many beekeepers are exploring the option of vaccinated queens to help protect their colonies from brood diseases and beyond. Amy, head of beekeeper relations and a former USDA researcher, shares her journey into beekeeping and how she came to work with Dalan. Everett, Dalan’s sales manager, offers insights into the commercial side of introducing this new technology to the industry. Together, they provide updates on the AFB vaccine’s acceptance and distribution, and importantly, highlight emerging evidence that the vaccine may also help reduce other serious threats, including deformed wing virus (DWV), chalkbrood, and sacbrood. The episode dives into how the vaccine works—not with needles, but via queen candy—and explains the principle of transgenerational immune priming. The team also explores recent field trials demonstrating up to 90% reduction in DWV, even in colonies with similar varroa levels, and how these unexpected benefits may shift how beekeepers think about disease prevention. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a sideliner considering new management tools this season, this episode offers valuable context on one of the most exciting health innovations for honey bees today.

    Univ. of Montana Beekeeper Education with Dr. Scott Debnam (327)
    Mar 31 2025
    Online beekeeping education has come a long way—and the University of Montana is leading the way. In this episode, Jeff and Becky talk with Dr. Scott Debnam, head beekeeper and lead instructor for UM’s Online Master Beekeeping Program, about how the program has evolved over the past 12 years and why it continues to grow. Scott shares how the program balances science-based instruction with practical application. Rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all approach, students learn honey bee biology and colony ecology so they can make informed decisions that fit their goals, values, and local conditions. The program’s three levels—apprentice, journeyman, and master—are structured to build experience over time, with engaging lectures, moderated forums, and even student-led research. Students come from across the U.S. and over 25 countries, and their questions, experience, and feedback shape the program’s dynamic learning environment. Scott’s enthusiasm for teaching and his love for bees are front and center in this conversation, which highlights the value of structured learning, community interaction, and lifelong curiosity in becoming a better beekeeper.
