PODCAST EPISODE 47: Phil Lester, Author and Professor of Ecology and Entomology, Wellington, New ZealandA German proverb reads: “God made the bee, but the Devil made the wasp.” Anyone who knows me knows, I am not a wasp fan in the slightest, especially not of the nasty European wasp. As Australia’s warm climate extends the life cycle of the introduced species, and a lack of predators increases its chance of survival, European wasps have become notorious in the antipodes. Reaping the benefits of mild winters that generate longer lifecycles, the introduced species has been found to build nests four times larger than those found in Europe! And that’s just the beginning. European wasps prey on indigenous fauna, kill pets and livestock, raid beehives for honey and bees, decimate grape and fruit crops, and threaten humans with their fatal sting. In order to delve deep into the lives of these destructive pests for episode 47 of the BEES WITH BEN beekeeping podcast, I was lucky enough to chat to Professor of Ecology and Entomology Phil Lester – author of two of my favourite books and over 125 articles on invasive ants, wasps and other insects in journals such as Biology Letters, Ecology, and Proceedings of the Royal Society. What an incredible wealth of knowledge!Phil’s stellar book from 2018 ‘The Vulgar Wasp: The Story of a Ruthless Invader and Ingenious Predator’ unpacks the mysteries of the despised common wasp, asking questions such as: how can we manage wasps? Can we ever learn to live with them? What can they teach us about the challenges we face for pest control? His more recent book from 2020 ‘Healthy Bee, Sick Bee: The Influence of Parasites, Pathogens, Predators and Pesticides on Honey Bees’ presents quite an opposite story: the story of one of the most well-loved creatures on the planet! Both publications are packed with information and anecdotes that will educate and surprise even the savviest beekeeper, and Phil’s wit and intelligence make both books great page turners. Tune in to hear Phil and I chat about the good, bad and the ugly of the bee and wasp universe – perfect timing considering European wasps have been very active with the La Nina weather cycle!

Wax dipping hives on a chilly day 💨 💨 #hives #beehive #bee #bees #bensbees #hive #wax

Now I’m not too fussy when it comes to honey, I’ll take it any which way I can get it! I even like Banksia honey which Ben always says tastes like 🤮. So when I bought some lavender honey on the weekend I was so excited to try it!
I couldn’t wait till I got home so opened the jar in the car, stuck my finger in and got a great huge glob of it and ate it.
You know when someone says “wash you mouth out with soap”? Skip the soap and just eat this! 😆

Begin Again on Sunday

Every Sunday I sit down and write something for my community of beekeepers, nature lovers, and foodies. Looking back, I can see a kind of introspection to my blogs and posts on that day; it is as if I am summing up my feelings for the week and trying my best to make those feelings INTO SOMETHING. It sounds odd perhaps, and kind of philosophical, but it’s a nice way to end the craziness of Monday-to-Friday. It’s also something I didn’t realise I did, this end-of-the-week journaling, but is now an activity I need and enjoy. Sunday is a time to reflect and make changes.

This feeling is also true of the moment we are living in, where every day has a certain level of introspection, as we muddle our way through this pandemic and try and figure out the best way to move forward. Just like in the Sunday blogs, the necessity to

reflect and change keeps cropping up. Now, for small businesspeople, for people who are driven by passion, for people who act from their hearts and do whatever it takes to make their world, and the wider world, a better place to be, these ideas are not new ones. These are things we MUST do every day to make our lives the ones we want. As we reflect on the state of things, we make changes so that what we don’t like gets better.

Another thing I love to do on Sunday is visit a good farmers market. Now, at the farmers market, I see both sides of my favourite picture: first, farmers, producers and eco-businesses selling wares and produce they grew and made themselves; second, consumers with the same values as the people they are buying from. The energy created by people coming from two different perspectives but with the same ideas and loves and values is electric! It’s something I LOVE to see, and it’s a huge part of what inspires me to keep going in what I do.

PODCAST EPISODE 46: John Winkles from Pure Peninsu

PODCAST EPISODE 46: John Winkles from Pure Peninsula Honey, Victoria, Australia.

Like many Melbournites, I love to escape to the Mornington Peninsula when I have time to spare. I love the winding roads that meander between deep set willowy gum trees. I love the small communities hidden in the bush. I love the skies filled with the sounds of galahs and cockatoos. A day spent visiting the Peninsulas glorious beaches, wineries, and farms is a true delight. I am therefore a little jealous of our guest for episode 46 on the BEES WITH BEN beekeeping podcast – John Winkles of Pure Peninsula Honey, whose fantastic honey farm is situated in Moorooduc, amidst local delights such as the Moonlit Sanctuary, Peninsula Hot Springs, Sunny Ridge Strawberry Farm and the glorious Cape Schanck National Park.
John was born in Germany and came to Australia when he was in his early twenties. A fourth-generation butcher by trade, John started his beekeeping venture as a hobby, when he found and adopted two feral hives some years ago. John nurtured them until they were healthy and happy colonies. These days, he is one of the beekeepers with the most hives in the state!
Now running for some 30 years, Pure Peninsula Honey is renowned for its wide range of delicious honey, with something to suit every taste and need. The company offers close to 30 different honey, wax, honeycomb and cosmetic products that you can purchase; some of my favourites are their delicious Lemon Honey – perfect mixed into drinks when you have a cold or need some TLC – and the Local Flora Squeeze Bottle of honey is a must for every pantry. Pure Peninsula Honey also transports bees to pollinate fruit, vegetable and seed crops, and offers bee and wasp control services.
So, if you are heading down to the Peninsula, make sure you stop in at Pure Peninsula Honey farm, open every day of the year except Christmas Day. I would also wholeheartedly recommend John’s delicious ice-cream, not to mention his mead, that just won best mead at show at the Red Hill show! Tune in to hear John and I talk about his transition to beekeeping and life as a keeper on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula.
