Interview with marla Spivak about beekeeping.
I was driving around at work today jamming out to some music when I decided to put on NPR. I like NPR some of the times, but usually most of it is pompous liberal crap that really doesn’t have any impact on my life especially with host’s who have names like Gian, Mal, or Albana. Anyways, I put on NPR and caught just the tail end of this interview about Marla spivak and her work with bees at the U of Minn. Boss Interview. finally someone is talking about something other than their honey crop failing. She is actually talking about beekeeping that can pertain to beginning beekeepers, Something we are trying to do in Chicago. Steer away from the Langstroth hive. Use a Top Bar or even a tree trunk, but stop buying into the langstroth myth. Please if you have the time, listen to this whole interview or just listen to a bit of it if you are seriously interested in Beekeeping. The audio file was too large to post on my blog but you can go directly to the site. It’s gonna blow your mind. Thank you NPR
The Beebuds have a simple message: Keep Bees. Keep them on a roof, keep them in a yard, keep them inside your apartment, just keep bees.
This blog showcases what we are learning from a few chickens and a few too many bees.
We focus primarily on using the "Top-Bar" hive design. We custom built our own design after three years of trial and error, and are real excited for the future.
This Blog is for anyone interested in beekeeping, small or large scale. It is made so that novice beekeepers can come together and share our discoveries.
We are in Chicago. We design and sell "top-Bar" hives as well as consult you on where to place them on your property. We also have a bee supplier from St. Louis.
If anyone is interested in beekeeping, but doesn't have the knowledge, time, or courage to get stung, then we also offer a "Foster" system. We set up a hive on your property, we take care of all the dirty work, and you reap the rewards of tasting that sweet sweet honey.
If you have a few hours to talk, then send us an email to beebuds@gmail.com with your phone number and we would be glad to give you a call.
Lets keep them lady bees buzzin'!!
