About Bees, Culture & CuriosityAbout Bees, Culture & CuriosityLate Spring BeekeepingSeason 4 Episode 8: About Bees, Culture & Curiosity Podcast – Late Spring Beekeeping    Rain brings flowers, flowers bring nectar, nectar brings bees, beekeepers make honey. We are getting heavy rains here, so, of course Ron is predicting a big honey flow. This gets Bidzina’s attention. He is thinking about making comb honey with upside-down glass jars, but Ron throws cold water on the idea. Find out why. We discuss the four things to avoid or reduce granulation, before removing the honey as well as after it’s been extracted. These include the fructose/glucose ration, which depends on nectar...2025-06-2559 minAbout Bees, Culture & CuriosityAbout Bees, Culture & CuriositySpring Honey BeesSeason 4 Episode 6: About Bees, Culture & Curiosity Podcast – Spring Honey Bees   Bidzina and Ron talk about the status of their hives, leading to a discussion about dandelion honey, which Ron’s colonies produced in abundance this year. An intense early flow can lead to swarming, which happened to some of Bidzina’s hives. Two migratory beekeeping mishaps are mentioned – one in Oregon, the other in Washington state. Pretty messy. Finally, should you register your bees with the government? And related - do people every level shotguns at bee inspectors?

That, of course, leads us to a discussion about the wealth of nations (not to be confused with Adam Smith’s book), before finally circling back to packages of honey bees.  What works better – packages or overwintered honey bee colonies?

The former Soviet republic was once staunchly pro-Western and pro-European. But over the last several years, the country has drifted closer to Russia's orbit, largely due to one man: the oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili. His Georgia Dream party has dominated Georgian politics for nearly a decade, and this rule has brought some democratic backsliding, including a new NGO law, modeled after a similar law in Russia, aimed at undermining civil society. However, the people of Georgia remain overwhelmingly pro-West and pro-European.
