Episode Details

Thanks to Jennifer Keller, opening this episode! Jennifer stopped at the Betterbee booth during EAS and left us that greeting! You too can record an opening for an upcoming episode! Simply record one on your phone and send it to us at the podcast! Simple as that!!

We do have an important show coming up for you today. We talk with Becky Masterman of the Minnesota Honey Producers Association and commercial beekeeper, and good friend of the podcast, John Miller, to talk about the Bee and Butterfly Fund and the upcoming renewal of the USDA Farm Bill legislation that will definitely impact beekeepers.

And just a heads up, John was on his mobile, sitting in Golden State Park, so some of his conversation is not as clear as we strive for. We apologize for this in advance!

We hope you enjoy the episode. Leave comments and questions in the Comments Section of the episode's website.
