Honeybee Genetics, Honeybee Diversity, Honeybee Futures

In this episode, we dive into the historical context of honeybee development, how genes travel, where bee diversity comes from, the impacts of the way we breed bees today, and why honeybees are way more badass than we give them credit for. Also, lotta puns in this one. Sorry.
