In this reflective episode, Jim delves into the fascinating realm of beekeeping mysteries and experiences he’s never witnessed firsthand despite decades in the field. From the elusive sight of queens and drones mating mid-flight to spotting a queen on the outside of a swarm cluster, Jim explores the mysteries of bee behavior that continue to elude him. He shares anecdotes of near-misses and experiments, like his attempt to observe drones responding to a caged queen with a flying drone (the machine, not the bee). With humor and curiosity, Jim highlights the wonders of bees and the enduring surprises they hold for even the most seasoned beekeepers.

This episode invites listeners to reflect on their own beekeeping journeys and the marvels yet to be discovered.
