Greatest podcast on bees. Funny and informative.

I recently have decided I wanted to keep bee and know NOTHING about bees. This podcast turned up on tik tok so I gave it a go. I have started from the beginning and it has so much information! Some pod cast I can’t stick with because it’s monotone or drags out; this one doesn’t. I have messaged them on social media and they had a quick response and put up with my questions (very confused gal here). Defiantly recommend to anyone wanting to start a hive!

Great information for novice and experienced beekeepers alike. Plus you get to learn from Ken’s mistakes. Great podcast!!!

What a great combination of good information and easy-going humor. This level of mastery is, in my opinion, very uncommon, particularly in someone so articulate. Thank you so much for the easy to understand format And great information!

Each show is packed with information but stil easily digestible.

Great show guys . And John just so you know my bees work Indian paint brush here by Yosemite.. they must have plenty other stuff going on down there for them to not bother in your area.. thanks again guys and keep up the awesome job !!!

Love listening to you guys! So much information!!!!!

You won’t be sober long if you do. Can you say SELL OUT. They spend so much time telling you what you can get if you pay, there is almost nothing left for free. It’s a good show about beekeeping. They should just get a couple of commercials for bee supplies. That would be better than a 10 minute commercial for Patreon.

Very informative podcast! Information delivered in an easy to understand and entertaining manner. Always look forward to it on Mondays! I have found myself going back and listening again as I encounter things with my colonies. Thank you for what you do!

Keep up the great infotainment

This is a great podcast, especially for new beekeepers.

I’m new to beekeeping and this podcast is outstanding and a fun. I’m looking forward to my first hive this spring. Start from #1. Worth the listen. Thanks

This is a great podcast. I enjoy the topics covered, interviews, bonus episodes, and Q&A episodes. The content is good. I wish that Ken could park his off topic questions to the end of the show- you could call it “Ken’s Korner”. John does a great job presenting content, there’s a lot to be desired in terms of organization of the show- it gets off topic very often. Overall, very pleased subscriber.

As a first year beekeeper myself, this podcast has been a wonderful addition to my continuing beekeeping education. I’ve read a ton of books and taken many classes/workshops, and I still learn something new on every episode. I can’t wait to try out a top bar hive next season! Thanks Hive Jive!

This was the first podcast I ever listened to and I feel fortunate to have found it! It starts out with a beginner beekeeper paired up with a master bee keeper. I love the good ole boy back and forth and how each show mutual respect for the others strengths and failures. Ken is a lot like me! If I do something I go at it full blast or not at all! Listening to him talk about swarm traps and how much effort he was putting into it made me belly laugh because I’d just finished doing the same thing he did...I went full blast at a project that I really didn’t have any idea what I was doing, lol! I have already caught 4 wild swarms this spring using there info! They are the first swarms I have ever caught. Thanks for the great info guys and keep up the good work!

There is always an abundance of information and a good laugh. My favorite podcast. Thanks for doing it guys

Great show and awesome content. The sidekick leaves a lot to be desired.

Great interview, stories and the tangents were delightful. Had never heard of cave bees! Wonderful. Plan to explore long Lang hives, similar to top bar but maybe more suited for my microclimate. Thanks! Glad to find you guys. Leigh from the Beekeeping at Five Apple Farm podcast.

Great podcast - especially for our central Texas beekeepers! I wish this had been around last year when I was a total new-bee.

This podcast is perfect for the beginner beekeeper, and the seasoned beekeeper alike. It manages to deliver information to the listeners while still being engaging, educational, and entertaining. If you are tired of the same old podcasts that just drone on... then give these guys a try!
