1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to coast AM on iHeartRadio.

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 2: I got to ask you something that I've always wondered

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 2: about because I don't know if what.

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: You do or not.

5
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: But when you get a jar of honey and there's

6
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 2: the bees wax in it, is that like what you

7
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 2: want to go for? What is why? And would that why?

8
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 2: Is that better than a jar without it in it?

9
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 2: And can you eat the honeycomb? Is the wax? Yeah?

10
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, So that's that's a specific kind of honey production

11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 3: called comb honey production. So beekeepers will put if there's

12
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 3: a special type of frame you put in the hive

13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 3: and the bees will fill it with You want fresh wax, right,

14
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,319
Speaker 3: so wax can sit around for a long time. So

15
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 3: you designate that certain time of year when the bees

16
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 3: are producing honey. You put a box that's just designated

17
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 3: just for honeyney and anything they put in that box

18
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 3: you can take. And there's a way to have the

19
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 3: bees create their own comb. Right. Typically bee keepers will

20
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 3: use like a foundation that the bees build on. But

21
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 3: in order to make that comb honey, you just leave

22
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 3: the space blank and the bees they make wax.

23
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: Right.

24
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 3: They have very active wax glands on their abdomen and

25
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 3: they take in nectar and they produce the wax. And

26
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 3: then in order to harvest that and produce what's called

27
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,919
Speaker 3: comb honey, you basically cut it and put that chunk

28
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 3: of wax with honey in it into a jar and

29
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 3: you can sell it for a lot of money. People

30
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 3: really like it for things like tracouterie boards and like

31
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: and it is it's just wax. I don't produce comb

32
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 3: honey myself, probably should because you can sell it at

33
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 3: a premium. But people like the affectation of it. It

34
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 3: looks neat. You can put a frame out on a

35
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 3: on a on a buffet and you can take a

36
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: little spoonful of wax with your honey. But it's just

37
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: wax and you can eat it. It's perfectly fine to eat.

38
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 3: It's these wax and it's usually soft, these wax because

39
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 3: it's new. But yeah, I'm not I'm not quite sure

40
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 3: why people like wax in their honey on this.

41
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 2: You know, I was wondering, I'm thinking, is that is

42
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: that okay? And maybe I've had some hard old wax

43
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 2: or something, because it's almost like the candy wax when

44
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,279
Speaker 2: you were a kid, and you know in Halloween, right

45
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: wax right, So I didn't know if you could or not,

46
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: but you're right, And especially the charcuterie boards. Yeah, it

47
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 2: really looks nice when you see that. But then I'm

48
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: always like, can I eat this? I mean, it looks good,

49
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: but I want to eat it. I want the money,

50
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: and I can't. Yeah, yeah, you can eat it.

51
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: There's perfectly fine to eat.

52
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So I want I want to have

53
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: the perspective because I think this will answer a lot

54
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: of things of Okay, you're a bee, you wake up

55
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: that day or I don't you know, I don't even

56
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: know if you sleep, but you're a bee, and take

57
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 2: us on a bee's life, on a day in the

58
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: life of a bee.

59
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 3: That's that's a great question. That's so pretty, pretty complicated,

60
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 3: little critter. Have you seen the B movie, the Disney

61
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 3: version of the B Movie. Oh yeah, it's very cute.

62
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 3: It's like the Life of the Bee. They a cute movie.

63
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: Jerry Seinfeld plays the perfect It's lovely, except they got

64
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 3: one thing really really wrong, which is all the most

65
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 3: of the bees, the worker bees, are female, so the

66
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 3: male bees, the drones, really they don't really do anything.

67
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 3: They're there for the mating process. They're there only seasonally.

68
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 3: The it's it's a matriarchy in the hives. So most

69
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 3: of the bees are female, non reproduct to females. There's

70
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 3: one queen, right she is you can can you can

71
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 3: consider the queen like the reproductive organ of the hive.

72
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 3: So and when you talk about honey bees, there's a

73
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 3: turn called that's you social eu eu you social uh

74
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 3: ants are the same, uh termites are the same. It

75
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 3: means there's there's a big group, right that they all

76
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 3: work together and they have one one reproductive female. So

77
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 3: so that's how that's how bees work. So the b

78
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 3: movie kind of tells the story a little bit of it.

79
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 3: How bees are born. They they they they start as

80
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 3: an egg. So the queen lays an egg and those

81
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 3: little tiny hexagonal cells and much like every other insect

82
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 3: that goes through egg larva, cuba stage egg is a

83
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 3: little teeny egg for a couple of days. Then it

84
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 3: becomes like a little worm and it grows and they

85
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 3: feed that worm and it fills the cell and then

86
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 3: they cover it over and in the process they cover

87
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 3: it over, it's a little bit like a butterfly in

88
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 3: a chrysalis. So when the bee is covered, it goes

89
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 3: through a process called metamorphosis. So it goes from being

90
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 3: kind of a worm to having a segmented body, wings, legs, eyes,

91
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 3: and the day for the female the workers at its

92
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 3: day twenty one, they emerge as a young adult bee

93
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 3: and then they go through you know, they go through

94
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 3: a process. They basically have a career and they go

95
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 3: through different phases of their career and they start as

96
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 3: a nurse be and so they'll be they can't fly yet,

97
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 3: so when they're born, they do what children don't do,

98
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 3: which is turn around and clean their room. And then

99
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 3: they will be working inside the hive to kind of

100
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 3: clean things up and feed their their young larvae siblings.

101
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 3: And then as they get older, there's jobs where they

102
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 3: can unload the foragers, the bees bringing in all the goodies,

103
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 3: and they will unload foragers and they'll they could also

104
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 3: be part of the queen's court, so they could be

105
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 3: part of her retinue and kind of take care of her,

106
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 3: feed her, help her do well, do her egg laying business,

107
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 3: and pass her pheromone around the hive. And then as

108
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 3: they gets older, it becomes you know, it learns to fly.

109
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 3: They go on little orientation flights and so they'll do

110
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 3: they'll do a little practice flights out in front of

111
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 3: the hive, and then they learn how to fly, and

112
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 3: then they might become guard bees. They guard the front

113
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 3: of the hive, and then they end their life as

114
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 3: a forager. So that'd be the older bees, and they're

115
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 3: the ones that go out and fly and they forage

116
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 3: and about between you know, one and five mile rate

117
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 3: of the hive, and they go out and gather nectar,

118
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 3: which is their their carbohydrates, right, and their sugar, and

119
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 3: then they also gather pollen, which is their protein, and

120
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 3: then they also bring in water and then they also

121
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 3: bring in sap from trees and they create a substance

122
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 3: called propolis. So these are very productive. They and they

123
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 3: and they literally they work themselves to death. Right they

124
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: fly until their wings are tattered and they drop in

125
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 3: the field. So in the high season this time of

126
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 3: year in Texas, when it's warm and there's lots of

127
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 3: food for them, they work so hard that they have

128
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 3: a very short life. And then when it comes to winter,

129
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 3: they have a very long life because they stop flying

130
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 3: and they gather and they they form a cluster in

131
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 3: order to survive winter, and that's why they save up

132
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 3: all that honey. They they're they're storing up their food,

133
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 3: their honey, uh and and pollen for their for overwintering.

134
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 3: And really honey is their their winter food. They need

135
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 3: a lot of honey, particularly up north, and it's down

136
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 3: here in Texas they don't need quite as much as

137
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 3: they do up north. And then those bees will form

138
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 3: a cluster and sit there and vibrate through the winter

139
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 3: so they can live six months in the wintertime. They

140
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 3: can live three weeks four weeks in the in the summer.

141
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 2: When they carry it back, they have it like they

142
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: store like on their legs. Is that what they do?

143
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 3: They like? Yeah, yeah, well so they have they have

144
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 3: little baskets on their legs called a curbriculum. It's like

145
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 3: a it's like a little part of their leg where

146
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 3: they can fill with pollen. And when they bring pollen in,

147
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 3: it's different colors. It's kind of cool. You can watch

148
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 3: if you've got to be high, you get to watch

149
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 3: the bees come in and out and they have different

150
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 3: colored pollen on their legs. When they bring a nectar

151
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 3: or water or sap from trees to make propolis. They

152
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 3: have what's called a crop, which is uh it's basically

153
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 3: a storage tank. So they have a stomach. People say, oh,

154
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 3: you know, honey is b bar, right, yeah, that's what

155
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 3: I thought it was. But they don't really digest it

156
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 3: and regurgitate it. They take it in through their mouth.

157
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 3: They have a they have a prebossis like an elephant's

158
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 3: trunk almost. It's like a tube and that's where they

159
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 3: use to slurp things in and then they store it

160
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 3: in their little crop. This little this little bladder. So

161
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 3: they bring they can bring water, they can bring nectar,

162
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 3: they can bring sap and then but they also have

163
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 3: a digestive system, right, so they can also eat. But

164
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 3: that's not that's not where the honey comes from. So

165
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 3: they carry that little bladder and then they they come

166
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 3: back to the hive and they spit that out to

167
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 3: their sisters and they pass it one to the other.

168
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 3: So and the nectar comes in. They bring in nectar,

169
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 3: very thin right flowers, give that that that bonus food

170
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 3: to the bees, this beautiful carbohydrates. It's just simple sugar,

171
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 3: and so the bees slurp that up, bring it home

172
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 3: and then they chew it and they dehydrate it nectar

173
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 3: from flowers. It's very viscous. It's very runny, very wet,

174
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 3: so they dehydrate, they chew it, they chew pollen into it.

175
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 3: They use their wings to dehydrated in the cells and

176
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 3: they cure it. And when honey becomes less than twenty

177
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 3: percent moisture, then it becomes honey. Right, it's it becomes

178
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 3: a superfood that can last. I mean, they found honey

179
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 3: in King Tut's tomb that was still it'll crystallize. Right,

180
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 3: you've had that maybe in the pantry where your honey

181
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 3: turns crunchy. Yea and yea crystallized. It's still good. It

182
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 3: just needs to be heated and slow heated, not cooked.

183
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 3: So yeah, they make this superfood and you know, and

184
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 3: humans have been robbing it for first yeah years. When

185
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 3: you harvest, you call it robbing the hives.

186
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 2: Oh well, it's totally what you're doing, you know. The

187
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 2: neat thing about it. I've gone to culinary school and

188
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: it's in Napa Valley and we get to go to

189
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 2: all the wineries and taste all the different wines and

190
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 2: and and how much different they taste. Even though it

191
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: might be the same, great, but it's on the other

192
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 2: side of the hill where it gets more sun in

193
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 2: the morning or something like that. And here you can

194
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: you can just plant different flowers or anything different just

195
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 2: to spice up the honey the way you want to

196
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 2: flavor it, right, I mean, you can literally flavor your

197
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: honey with the bees.

198
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 3: You would have to plant quite a lot, so bees

199
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 3: forage in a pretty wide area, so you're kind of

200
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: relying on your your local habitat ecosystem, but you'd have

201
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 3: you know, you definitely have regional varieties of honey, and

202
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 3: certain bee keepers can be in a in an area

203
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 3: that's you know, one source honey. You know, orange blossome

204
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 3: honey in the in the valley down in the South Texas,

205
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 3: you get you pretty much at a certain time of year,

206
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 3: you're gonna get mostly orange blossom honey. So you can say, hey,

207
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: this is orange blossom honey. My honey is a mix

208
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 3: of wildflower. But yet it is it tastes different, It's

209
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 3: different color, darker, lighter. There is a whole world of

210
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 3: honey competition, honey judging, honey tasting, very that goes that

211
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 3: goes very deep. But I actually like very vanilla honey,

212
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 3: the kind that you actually get in the grocery store

213
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 3: probably comes from North Dakota. The clover honey. It's that

214
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 3: kind of vanilla. I don't want to it's just just

215
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 3: simply sweet type honey. My honey here in Texas has

216
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 3: a has a stronger flavor, tends to be a little

217
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 3: more like an amber honey. And people you sort of

218
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 3: love it or and just like wine, you like what

219
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 3: you like, right, there's no there's no good or bad honey.

220
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 3: Some people love buck wheat honey or you know, different

221
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 3: different varieties. And so the bees do amaze so everything

222
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 3: they do. You know that they're always teaching me something

223
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 3: every time I go out into my bees.

224
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 2: Now, I love this. I absolutely love this. I have

225
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 2: Let's see which question do I want to ask you?

226
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 2: I have so many. I just love it. I just

227
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 2: love it. Well, you've got you've got a show with

228
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 2: TBS cover up?

229
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 3: We do we got that?

230
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, tell me.

231
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a lot of fun. It's called Charlie Bee Company.

232
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 3: And you know, I named my business just like a

233
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 3: five year old my name, I'm Charlie. I like bees

234
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 3: as Charlie b Company. Right, So and startingsh like twenty eighteen,

235
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen, a friend of mine approached me and he

236
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 3: was producing TV for nat GEO and going to Africa

237
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 3: and shooting giraffes and doing all this adventure stuff. Had

238
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 3: just had he and his wife had just had some

239
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 3: kiddos and she said, you know, the Africa trips, they're

240
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 3: a little they're a little much. I needs you around

241
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 3: a little bit more. And so he was looking for

242
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 3: a local subject and approached me and we'd been friends

243
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 3: for a long time. Ashley Davison is his name, and

244
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 3: we started shooting the video and we produced the season

245
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 3: if we produced the pilot and we shopped it around

246
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 3: and then we got on TVs twenty twenty one two

247
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 3: and it was just a it's just a blast. I mean.

248
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 3: The cool thing about the show is we look at

249
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 3: it like micro from dirty jobs, like micro from dirty

250
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 3: jobs for beekeeping. So I go out and kind of

251
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 3: meet experts and different aspects of beekeeping. And there are

252
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 3: many aspects of beekeeping, and we learned from them and

253
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 3: they kind of take me into their operation and put

254
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 3: me to work. And so season one was a lot

255
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 3: of that, also a lot of be removal, so that's

256
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 3: my specialty. So which every be removal we do is

257
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 3: an adventure, So all kinds of funny scenarios, all kinds

258
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 3: of nervous homeowners and crazy situations, and we get I

259
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 3: get stung in the face. The crew loves it When

260
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 3: I get stung in the face. That's just the best.

261
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 3: Charlie's face swells up like like a balloon. That's just

262
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,400
