Plain Talk: Thieving Beekeepers (204)
Manage episode 448908452 series 2867912
In this candid episode, Jim shares a side of beekeeping rarely discussed: the loss of books, equipment, and even entire hives borrowed and never returned. As he recounts his experiences with missing bee catalogs, beekeeping books, and custom-built observation hives, Jim reflects on the challenges of sharing resources in the beekeeping community.
His stories range from the humorous to the frustrating, including the time he gifted a swarm and never saw the hive box again. Jim highlights the unique bonds in beekeeping while reminding listeners of the value of trust and respect within the community.
This is a relatable listen for anyone who’s ever shared—and lost—a prized piece of gear.
