Episode 359
Jeff and Becky have a special message for Beekeeping Today Podcast listeners! After decades of managing their own bees and many lessons learned on their beekeeping journeys, they're thrilled to announce that Beekeeping Today is taking the next step — into print. Their forthcoming book, "Beekeeping Today: Your First Year of Beekeeping," brings together personal experiences, insightful lessons, and advice shared on the show, on how to get started with bees and through the first year. And now they'd love your help!
Listeners are invited to submit beekeeping photos for possible inclusion in the book — from bees at work to your hives through the seasons. To learn more or share your images, visit https://www.beekeepingtodaypodcast.com/p/beekeeping-today-the-book/.
After the announcement, Jeff and Becky revisit a listener favorite from the archives — a conversation with NYPD's own beekeeper, Officer Darren Mays. Darren shares what it's like to respond to swarm calls across New York City, rescue bees from surprising places, and balance life as both a police officer and beekeeper.
It's a great reminder that honey bees — and beekeepers — can be found in the most unexpected places.
