Excellent addition
Becky has been an excellent addition to the team in Kim's absence! She is incredibly knowledgeable, so she asks great questions during interviews, and is just very likable!

Always informative and fun
Every episode has something that interests and informs. As a small-time beekeeper with several years of experience, I still learn from the podcast. The hosts obviously enjoy beekeeping and it's evident in the shows.

Newbee getting ready to start
I'm glad I found this show. Getting ready to start keeping bees in the spring and I am learning so much listening to the show!

Newbee Keeper
This is the first time I have listened to your podcast. I am hobby Bee Keeper , but have been an avid gardener, and therefore promoted the growth of pollinating gardens. I thoroughly enjoyed today with Judy Woo Smart and love that I’ve taken away some tips that I can use on my own hives. Each year I lose a hive in the first year I lost both hives. I was saddened, but not discouraged. I found so far rarely does anything that happens within my hives repeat itself. Also, over the years of conversation with other beekeepers there’s many many different approaches to different problems that everyone seems to think it is their best. I am in Ontario Canada Bee Keeper , but I have also chatted with beekeepers all over the world and present and visiting my son in Australia, and hope I will have an opportunity to talk to another Bee Keeper here. Keep up the good work, and now that I finally found a podcast that is worth listening to for me! I’ll be back! Thanks very much for putting this out there for us Bee Keeper ‘s of all kinds.

Love this podcast!
I look forward to this every week. It keeps my mind engaged in beekeeping, and the wide range of topics and guests is great for the imagination! There is lots I put to use in my 65 hive “hobby”.

Love and thanks to Kim 💛🙏🐝
We love and pray for you and everyone you know, Kim! Get well soon . 💛🙏🕯🐝🍯 all my best and God bless you. To Jeff and Jim also.

Thanks for the knowledge!
I love listening to this podcast. I am three years in. Growing with each apiary visit. I feel like a sponge listening to this show and soaking up and digging deeper into various aspects of pollinators, beekeeping, and hive products. Thanks for all the info!

Drayton hive
Fantastic to hear Andrew being interviewed by you guys. Sounds a real gent with a great approach to hobby beekeeping. I’m off to order his book.

Arizona Beekeeper Information
Excellent beekeeping information from Arizona beekeepers. I watched on Youtube.

Girl power
Why not have Kathy (Kim's wife) set in on a few shows and add her 2 cents?

Beekeeping Today Podcast is essential for beekeepers!
I have learned so much from Beekeeping Today Podcast and it's sister podcast Honey Bee Obscura! I listen on Google Podcasts whenever I can. Great while fixing dinner, walking the dog, or on a long drive. I have 4 hives in Virginia.

Great podcast
I love everything about it. Great guests , love the topics.

Book reviews
I have always greatly enjoyed this podcast, and now it’s even more special with the addition of book reviews. Thank you for all you do and have done for the beekeeping community.

My Favorite Podcast
I have always been a fan of honeybees, which is why I started listening to this podcast. As a result of listening to this podcast, I have become a fan of bee keeping so much so that I am currently building my first bee hive and plan on joining the bee keeping crowd. If you want to learn more about honeybees and all pollinators this is a very informative and INTERESTING show!! -Amanda Galveston, TX

Holiday special
Throughly enjoyed the year end special. All the best to the four of you! Merry Christmas and Happy Bee Year! Ron Ashland, VA

Very informative
Very informative with very interesting hosts and guests

Love it
Very informative on what’s going on in the bee world.

So interesting!
I always learn something from those that you interview, even if it is an area that I’m not all that interested in! I always come away with something, and a lot of times I come away with something that I want to change or try in my beekeeping! Thank you for your diversity and down to earth perspectives!

Your almond economics pollination podcast
The podcast about almond pollination was absolutely awesome it was nice to hear about pollination from an economics standpoint. It was refreshing to hear about the fact that the growers need to look at the risk factors for the beekeeper and how it can affect him the grower. I truly enjoyed the podcast. Thanks Jeff and Kim.

Great resource
I’m new to beekeeping and have learned a great deal by listening to this podcast. So far my favorite episodes have been those that feature scientists. I still think Dr. Ramsey was one of the best episodes. A big thank you to everyone who works on this podcast.

Informative and educational
There are different speakers and guests who join the show and share their insights on various topics to provide a broad view on beekeeping and pollination.

Episode 29 was fabulous!
What a delight to hear the roundtable of different regional beekeepers! This may be my fave episode so far and I listen to every one. I particularly enjoyed hearing from fellow North Carolinian Mark Smith even tho our climates are so different (I’m at 3000’ in the NC mountains). His close observations of the impact of the unusual winter/spring we had were very insightful. Some time soon I hope you will check in with an Appalachian beekeeper (Jason Bragg of New River Bees in WV comes to mind) since it’s another unique region. Thank you both! Leigh, from the Beekeeping at Five Apple Farm Podcast

Diverse topics
I look forward to each new episode. I enjoy the diversity in the beekeeping community. Keep up the good work
