This episode we speak with Ben Moore about his lifelong passion for beekeeping and bees.


Ben loves sharing his knowledge and he presents his passion like the "Steve Irwin of Bees". 


Having appeared on popular television and radio programs, not only is Ben an avid apiarist, he is also an educator and advocate for the humble bee. 


He recently started his own podcast, Bees with Ben where he talks with other beekeepers from around Australia and the world. 


This episode he talks about the threats posed to bees, how to care for them and how we can contribute to their food source by planting bee friendly gardens. 


Ben has encouraging words for young and old looking to start beekeeping. 


He also encourages us all to buy honey direct from local beekeepers to ensure their survival too.
