Dr. Jim tells it just like it is, no syrup, sugar or anything else that will give you a false sense of hope! He is a man with years of knowledge and experience that many of us will never get to feel or experience. Jim is the “Charles Kuralt” of the Podcasters with his smooth voice and meandering

Dr. Jim Tews does a fantastic job of explaining the concept of the how and why of beekeeping!Jim, combines the events of yesteryear with the stories and events of today!Jim is the “Charles Kuralt” of the Beekeeping world podcasters with his antidotal thoughts and feelings about all things dealing with honeybees!I am currently the president of Nashville Area Beekeepers Association and had the privilege of meeting Dr. Jim Tews at the North American Honeybee Expo in Louisville, Ky. I recommend him to all my bee club members to listen to his thoughts and opinions while presenting ideas for a better apiary from Spring to Winter!

Jim, you are the best. Reminds me of my grandpa back in the day the way you talk. Keep it up as long as you are able. The talks help us all.

Love this podcast! Jim shares his knowledge using every day language folks can understand and relate to. His storytelling and real life beekeeping concerns that we all share are enjoyable, comforting and educational. I look forward to each episode! Thank you, Jim.

Dear Jim, Thank you! So much wonderful information and advice. ✌️❤️🐝

Rewinding to the 1970’s, Jim’s unmistakable voice and interesting bee tales haven’t changed since sweet days at the University of Maryland Apiary. So glad I’ve found this podcast, I’ll be listening and catching up on prior episodes. Best wishes, Jim!Joy MillerCibolo, TX

Feels like hanging out with my grandpa. Love the show Mr. Jim!

I look forward each week to the Honey Bee Obscura Podcast. I continue to learn so much as I have over the years since its release. Thank you Jim for continuing on with the podcast.

Imagine you’ve spent a full day working with bees, celebrating their striving, startled by their surprises, & defeated by their demises. You go to sleep that night with a smile and a question. Or two. Or nine. Then you wake up early in the morning to run over to the donut and coffee shop in the middle of a small rural town in Ohio, where you meet with your friend Jim and perhaps one of his guests. The three of you sit together for 20 minutes and talk about what was what, what is, and what possibly could be. That’s the podcast. t’s that simple. And it’s enough to keep you going into that bee yard for the next six days. It’s not a master class at a university filled with curricular complexities. They could do that and have before. There are places for that. No, this is a diner of discussion, delving in to everything from dearth’s & dead-outs, to daydreams of waggle dancing. And for a university professor like me who is new to beekeeping, and misses the days of working & questioning alongside his grandfather - who I miss dearly - it can’t get much better than this.

This new-bee beekeeper just loves this show!

We love you and are remembering all of your families in prayer there, Kim. Feel better soon, Sir. 🌞🌻🐝. So good to hear you back today.

I’m new to bee keeping and this is just the type of conversation and information that I need to answer my questions, help me make decisions, and feel like I’m making good informed decisions. Thank you.

Kim Flottum and Jim Tew have a great knowledge base and voice the subject matter in an easy to listen format.

A wonderful resource of learning from a diamond mine of experience and knowledge. It’s also a breath of fresh air listening to two icons of bee keeping being so humble and without the slightest sense of arrogance. Well done and thank you.

These two are pretty much legends in the beekeeping teaching and education world. It’s such a treat to listen to them just talk to each other about every day beekeeping. Well done!

No drama, no big egos, just a couple of old, experienced beekeepers chatting and telling stories about bees and beekeeping. Great stuff.

I love the short subject discussions. Love the interaction between you all.

End it also explains how I can get better at this craft that I can move on I’m game peas from a guy that does beekeeping and I’m probably also getting it came beers off-line so I probably will send you guys a picture of it

Thanks guys. Enjoy and agree with your usually common sense approach. ABC. (aged beekeeper)

I could listen to these guys read the phone book and it would be entertaining. They’re so funny and easy to listen to but what’s even better is they know their stuff so well that they break things down and make it all seem simple. I’m a first year beekeeper and I’ve learned so much listening to this podcast.

I’ve been sitting here all afternoon listening to episode after episode as I put handles on my pottery mugs(My other hobby!) Each episode is ye perfect length and I look forward to the next! I’ve learned so much in one afternoon! I’m learning new ways to care for my bees and I am being enlightened, and entertained at the same time. I also love how they gently tease each other from time to time, it makes me chuckle!Thanks, gentlemen! Ali in Methuen MA 🎶🐝

This is my favorite be related podcast by far! I have probably checked out every podcast out there on the cake and this one is best concise and informative. There is, however no substitute for membership in your-l local bee 🐝 club!
