About this listen
Season 3 Episode 9: About Bees, Culture & Curiosity Podcast – Packages or Overwintered Colonies?
We begin this episode – which is mostly about honey production using package bees – with a quick look at gloomy Denmark, where this year’s big international bee fest is being held. 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? It depends on location, but we come out in favour of packages here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Find out why.
