PODCAST EPISODE 16: Richard Noel, beekeeper, business owner, and all-round interesting chap, Brittany, France

For me, one of the best things about beekeeping is the way it connects to other things. Beekeeping isn’t just an activity in raising colonies and collecting honey – bees connect us to the environment, showing us how small we are and simultaneously how important it is that we change our ways to keep the planet healthy for all creatures great and small. The process of keeping bees is not just a practical one that has evolved over centuries since ancient times (although this is endlessly fascinating); it is also an art form – a slow practice that involves the love of a certain hive and the way it works. Similarly, the people who keep bees are often not just regular, straight-down-the-line beekeepers. From my experience, more often than not, those who are drawn to beekeeping, especially those attracted to it later in life, have lived through many experiences and often various jobs and careers until they come to beekeeping. Where am I going with all of this? I want to introduce you to a lovely English chap. A dear friend. A (once) paramedic. A landscape gardener. And now, a passionate beekeeper with a full-time bee-oriented business that focuses on queen production and a special strain of varroa-resistant bee. I am thrilled to welcome the one-and-only Richard Noel from Brittany in the north-west of France to the BEES WITH BEN beekeeping podcast for episode 16!
When I was galivanting around Europe a couple of years back, I was lucky enough to stay with Richard and help him out on his property in Brittany in north-west France. For a week I became chief lawn mower, with my primary job to keep the grass down in front of his hives! And you know what, I LOVED IT! I felt that youthful rush of being a new, apprentice beekeeper again. All those basic but important jobs still fill me with joy, and as I pushed away at that lawn mower, I saw just how hard-working Richard really is. Since then, we have stayed in constant contact – he is passionate and chatty and fascinating, and I am so pleased to introduce him to you all. Tune in and hear Richard and I chat about his business, how we met, his path to beekeeping, and the difference in beekeeping cycles between Brittany and Melbourne.

For me, one of the best things about beekeeping is the way it connects to other things, be that the environment, food, or the simplicity of slowing down. Similarly, the people who keep bees are often not just regular, straight-down-the-line beekeepers.

It is a common occurrence in household pantries. I

It is a common occurrence in household pantries. It’s probably winter, and the jar of honey that once contained molten golden honey has suddenly changed and become whiteish and semi-solid. This crystallisation is normal, but is usually met by distaste, as the honey-owner feels that their jar of delicious syrupy joy has suddenly spoiled.
However, this process is natural, as real raw honey does crystallise. In fact, it reflects your honey is natural and good quality. In nature, honey often crystallises, or sets, in the comb. It is a spontaneous and completely natural process that sees unheated honey become more solid, change colour and form crystals.

🐝If coronavirus isn’t beer, why do I keep seeing cases of it?

🐝What’s the difference between COVID-19 and Romeo and Juliet? One’s the coronavirus and the other is a Verona crisis.

🐝What do you call panic-buying of sausage and cheese in Germany? The wurst-kase scenario.

🐝Back in my day you would cough to cover up a fart. Now, with COVID-19, you fart to cover up a cough.

🐝You know who buys up all the toilet paper? Assholes.

🐝Nail salons, hair salons, waxing center and tanning places are closed. It’s about to get ugly out there.

🐝Why don’t chefs find coronavirus jokes funny? They’re in bad taste.

🐝What should you do if you don’t understand a coronavirus joke? Be patient.

Honey, Heal Me Honey: perfect really, isn’t it?

Honey, Heal Me

Honey: perfect really, isn’t it? The golden syrupy goodness we all love is a natural delicacy with many health benefits. On a less romantic note, bees create honey through a process of regurgitation (yes, I know) and enzymatic activity. But come on, we are all bee lovers here, so let’s think of that regurgitation more like an alchemical act, where something fairly ordinary becomes something out-of-this-world. Nectar is collected by female worker bees and then passed from the nectar sacs on her body to a bee inside the hive. Exchanging the substance mouth-to-mouth until its moisture content reduces, the substance is transformed into honey. Magic!

PODCAST EPISODE 14: Michael Kiem from Denmar Apiar

PODCAST EPISODE 14: Michael Kiem from Denmar Apiaries, Cloyna, Queensland

Due to the vastness of Australia, much business happens via road and air. This extends to apiary and beekeeping, and in one great example, I source my queen bees from a wonderful keeper and breeder, Michael Kiem from Denmar Apiaries, way up in Cloyna, Queensland. Michael runs his apiary with his wife Crystal and is one of the biggest queen breeders in Australia, breeding around 30,000 queen bees per year! And that is a very important job! These little gems and builders of the colony are shipped, via Australia Post would you believe, all across the country; in my case, they travel down to Victoria where I give them their second happy home. A keeper fit for a queen (bee), I am thrilled to introduce Michael to my community for episode 14 of the BEES WITH BEN beekeeping podcast.

You see, no one knows queens like Michael Kiem. He does a lot of driving around the countryside to areas where there are flowers for his bees. Denmar Apiaries is a small, family-run business and with two full-time employees – his 13-year-old son is keen on bees too and is great at catching queens! Michael brought the business just over ten years ago from the original owners, Dennis and Margaret Kidd (who he learnt so much from); however, he also worked in Canada with a big queen breeder – he is a definite oracle on the subject! Tune in to hear Michael and I chat about his business, his positive relationship with Australia Post (helped along with a few pots of delicious honey from time to time!), the Australian queen market, his hatred of paperwork, his love of plastic bee cages, and, of course, his beer can collection!

PODCAST EPISODE 13: Adam Barassi, Tax Accountant from Barassi and Co. Chartered Accountants and Future Beekeeper

This episode of the BEES WITH BEN beekeeping podcast is a special one because it unpacks the aspect of my job that I love the most. It’s the moment when someone reaches out to me, someone who has no or very little experience with bees and says: “Ben, I want to be a beekeeper!” Bees are a miraculous gift, and any keeper knows that they teach you about the nuances of the ecosystem and our place within it.

In this episode, Adam Barassi – tax accountant and director of Barassi and Co. Chartered Accountants – and I chat about how he can start keeping bees. Adam got in touch just a week or so ago to express that he wanted some tips and tools and (most importantly) bees to help him get started; he knows nothing about bees whatsoever and has never kept any of his own. Adam, however, is a good match for beekeeping! A keen gardener, he wanted to keep bees on his property so that they could help pollinate his fruit trees and vegetable garden plus get a little honey on the side if possible. In this episode, we chat about: the best place to set up your hive; what's involved in looking after bees; the genetics of bees and choosing which bee is best for you; basic information on pests and diseases bees are prone to catching; beekeeping clubs and mentoring; registering with the Department of Primary Industries; and last but not least, the importance of bees making honey for themselves first and foremost (but thankfully they are often happy to share!). A big thank you to Adam for getting in touch, and for the amazing opportunity to answer some common questions that new beekeepers have when they first start. Tune in!
