Episode #15, Bee Genetics Vs. Colony Collapse, Overview With Don Faulkner of White Duck Farm

Last week, I checked in with Carol Horwitz and Don Faulkner, proprietors of White Duck Farm, whom I interviewed for the podcast at the end of last year. We chatted about their operations and toured around for a couple hours. They have a lot going on this year. They shared what’s new since last year and what they have planned for their focus at the farmers market this season.

Later this week, we will have our spring episode with Carol, but today we have both Carol and Don talking about their Bees, the importance of the queen’s genetics, their efforts and struggles as beekeepers, what they are doing this year to prevent colony collapse and a few stories about their other animals who will soon be producing offspring.

Over the last 12 years of homesteading, they have gained so much wisdom about the natural cycles of nature, plants and animals, and we talk about this.
