Listen "Supering Up"
Episode Synopsis
Tom Theobald and Laura Tyler chat about honey production. Tom describes two-queen beekeeping. Laura asks if two-queen beekeeping is practical with today’s bees. "The beeyards look like city skyscrapers viewed from afar, like downtown Denver coming in form the north on I-25. Hardly noticeable in March as they sat nestled on the prairie, or tucked in beside a stream, each colony is now as high as my head, and the beeyards stand out clearly in the distance. The booming two-queen colonies require ample super room to prevent swarming and contain their large population, and a two-queen yard supered up for summer is a dramatic sight. When the flows begin even more supers will go on, until I can just reach the top with outstretched arms . . ."CREDITSProducer: Laura TylerAuthor: Tom TheobaldEditor: Andy SchwarzMusic: "Americana" and "Sonorus" by Mr Smith are licensed under CC by 4.0Logo Design: Janet Cerretani
