A conversation with Ana Heck who is the bee expert at MSU Extension. And new Bee keeper and friend of the show, Sally Babbitt,

Why is beekeeping so popular? It seems that more pore people are interested in keeping honey bee hives and seems to be accelerating in time. What makes them so special? Listen Saturday at 9AM as Doctor Will Schultz, DVM (retired) and Lee Cohen discuss this subject with Ana Heck who is the bee expert at MSU Extension. Ana will explain why people are choosing to get involved with beekeeping and what kind of homework needs to be done in advance to prepare for a successful hive. Which came first, the bee or the flower? How do you split a hive? What role to bees play in the food web and is that driving some of the popularity? If you did want to get started, what are the step by step instructions to do it? These are discussed in depth. Then former sponsor, Sally Babbitt, a recently retired attorney is on to discuss her journey of learning about bees along with her husband and having recently received her first hive of bees. What's it like? How have her Great Danes responded to the hive? Why did she choose to do it?
