The Bee Season Episode #1
The Bee Season is a podcast exploring bees, beekeeping, honey, and pollination. Bees play an essential, but often-unappreciated role in the food system and are being threatened by the conditions modern agriculture creates. At the same time, the price of honey is dropping as the market is flooded with questionably sourced honeys, leading to further pressures on beekeepers. Fortunately, there are a growing number of people working to revive and sustain healthy bee keeping practices. The Bee Season looks at the story of the economic, cultural, and health benefits these people and their bees provide. This program was sponsored by Whole Foods Market.
