Episode description

 

This episode features Dr. Leo Sharashkin’s seminar from the  Agroforestry Academy, the Center for Agroforestry's annual intensive training program.  Leo collects wild swarms of honeybees and keeps them in “horizontal”, or Layens, hives to harvest forest honey that is free of agrichemicals and other contaminants.  This special episode offers a deep dive into the world of keeping small bee livestock as part of a forest farming operation.
