044. How Beekeeping Saved Jay Williams' Life

Today on The Garden Culture Podcast, Jay Williams, beekeeper at Williams Honey Farm and Southall Inn in Tennessee takes us through his journey from showbusiness to firefighter to beekeeper. He shares with us how "chaos is a matter of perspective" and how working with bees saved him, as well as became his life's purpose. Jay now manages millions and millions of bees, and has award-winning honey, but really just pursues how to raise healthy hives. He talks about how home gardeners can create pollinator strips and the role of native bees. He teaches us about best practices for honey bees, where to start as beginners and home beekeepers, as well as how to breed bees. This conversation is a fantastic place for all home gardeners to start thinking more about bees. For more from Jay, find him at www.williamshoneyfarm.com or on Instagram HERE.
