This weeks show is a little different. We’ve had a very long busy weekend and Misty needed a rest so I’m doing the show solo. I really wanted to do a tour of a beehive to show you what was inside but the weather this weekend was not cooperating. You normally want to work on beehives on sunny warm days. It was 75 out, but it had been raining all day so the bees would all be home and probably grumpy. So I suited up all the way and went out anyways and did a sound seeing tour as I walked though a hive. It’s not the most organized, but I think you’ll enjoy the sounds and the tour!

Show 73 is a little windy, oh well it’s summer time podcasting. This weeks show gets to the point pretty quick because we have SIX yes 6 calls to the Farm Phone (206-202-GOAT) and they are all wonderful calls.
