An update on the feed ceiling talks, more updates, and an example of how not to keep bees.
(To our international listeners, the bumper music isn’t meant to incite or insult you. It’s meant as a rubuke to the policies of our current leadership that I feel have strayed far from their intended role.)

I fall behind on beekeeping tasks due to a bout with bronchitis and end up dealing with a swarm. Good times.

You may have noticed some ads floating around the website as of late, and you may occasionally hear me plug a company or website on the podcast. In the interest of being transparent with my audience, I thought you guys might want to know what’s going on with the site.
First let me say that I don’t take advertising lightly. Part of what I call “brand integrity” is conducting every business transaction with the best possible interest of our customers in mind. That said, I know I don’t have to tell you that things are getting tight financially. So in an effort to avoid raising product prices, I’m looking at alternative revenue streams. The most obvious one is advertising.
But brand Integrity also implies that we conduct our business transparently and in a trustworthy manner. So when we advertise something, you can safely assume that we have done business with the company, actually used the product(s), and feel comfortable making a personal endorsement. And we believe that putting an ad on the site or in the podcast should be nothing less than a personal endorsement.
We’ve been approached by a myriad of marketing companies wanting to advertise on the show and website, but none of them could tell us what products or companies would be displayed in the ad. They go about it backwards, first securing the advertising space (an agreement to host ads on our site) and then sell that space to their clients. Our business model is based on building relationships, and such a practice runs counter to what we believe customer service should be.
How does it work? Well it’s simple. When you click on one of the ads and then buy something from that company, I get a small percentage. At the time of this writing the only company we’re advertising for is Safecastle Royal – which pays 5% on each sale.
Just thought you might want to know.

While my son and I were out backpacking, Laura got busy and planted the whole garden. That is one amazing woman.
