Over the last year I participated in the Bee Informed Partnership’s Sentinel Apiary Program. You’ve heard me share tales of pulling samples and the tiny funnel that was included in the sampling kit. I was curious to learn more about what goes on at the lab at the University of Maryland where the Bee Informed Partnership is stationed. After I completed the program for the year, and upon a special request from one of our listeners, I asked for an interview and they said YES! Joining us from the BEE LAB is Kelly Kulhanek and Dan Reynolds! I might be too excited about this interview...

Beekeeping is the only animal husbandry related pastime in which we are encouraged to rescue our very weakest specimens to produce the next generation. This is what the BIP seems to advocate. (Why? Because commercial beekeepers). Wouldn't it be great if all this effort was focused on propagating the very best queens from absolutely untreated, multi-year survivors (they do exist), rather than playing "whack-a-mole" with mites? I don't know. Anyway, love your podcast. See you at the honeylove conference!
