Enjoy each week
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.

Favorite 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.

Just what I needed!
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.

A FAVORITE.
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!

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

Great podcast!!
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 just love these guys!
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!

Fave beecast
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!

Great podcast!!
I love this podcast. Kim and Jim are absolute experts in their field and their off the cuff discussions are extremely interesting. I look forward to every Thursday for a new episode. I especially appreciate the transcripts of the episodes, which come in handy in case I need to look something up. With their Sentry of knowledge combined, these beekeepers are the crème de la crème. Keep it up guys!

A pleasure
Such a pleasure to listen to two long-tine beekeepers who are as wise as they are experienced. Unlike so many other podcasts, they show a level of humility that is rare these days, especially in the world of beekeeping!

Entertaining, Fun & Educational
I completely enjoy listening to Kim Flottum and Jim Tew in this short and informal podcast. Best enjoyed with a cold lawn mower beer in hand!
Wonderful and unpretentious.

Relaxing voice of the Betterbee sponsor
Hi Jim and Kim, love the show but am really enjoying the lady’s voice who does the Betterbee sponsor, have you considered having her participate in the show a little, maybe just let her “add her 2 cents” to your observations?
Sincerely
Dave
