Summary: Talking about the whole hive as 'the animal.' https://www.patreon.com/posts/33062208 Bee-School Radio 2020 is collection of special episodes of the podcast dedicated to brand new beekeepers. About Beekeeping at Five Apple Farm: Leigh keeps bees at 3000' in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina with around a dozen or so stands. Hives are managed for bee health with active selection for vigor and disease resistance. The apiary is self-sustaining (not needing to buy/catch replacement bees since 2010) and produces honey and a few nucs yearly. ------ If you are getting value from the podcast please become a "Friend of Five Apple" on Patreon today!
