50: Beekeeping 101: A Guide to Raising Bees & Harvesting Honey
About this episode
In this episode of The Gubba Podcast, I’m diving into the rewarding and fascinating world of beekeeping! Whether you’re a beginner looking to start your own hive or simply curious about the magic of bees, this episode covers it all.
We’ll discuss everything from choosing the right breed of bees and hive setup to managing pests like the dreaded Varroa mite. Plus, I’ll share insights on harvesting honey, propolis, beeswax, and even bee venom—an incredible substance with potential medicinal benefits. Did you know bee venom is used in natural medicine and skincare for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties?
With bee populations on the decline due to pesticides, habitat loss, and environmental stressors, it’s more important than ever to support pollinators. Beekeeping isn’t just about harvesting honey—it’s self-sufficiency and reconnecting with nature.
Tune in to hear my personal beekeeping experiences and why I think keeping bees is one of the most rewarding homesteading ventures out there. Let’s save the bees together!
