You can find by listening to the show here:-
Getting Young People Interested in Beekeeping
Here's What was discussed
- How Orren Started Beekeeping in Sixth Grade
- How Orren is helping in Nepal with the Blinknow Foundation
- How it came down to a choice between a Ram or Bees?
- Why Bee Suits with open side pockets are a bad idea?
Have you got any good idea on how to get kids interested in bees?

Conserving wild bees
Research suggests that bumble bee boxes have a very low success rate in actually attracting bees into them. We find that if you create an environment where first of all you can attract mice inside, such as a pile of stones, a drystone wall, paving slabs with intentionally made cavities underneath, this will increase the success rate.
Most bumble bee species need a dry space about the size a football, with a narrow entrance tunnel approximately 2cm in diameter and 20 cm long. Most species nest underground along the base of a linear feature such as a hedge or wall. Sites need to be sheltered and out of direct sunlight.
There is a spectacular display of wild bee hotels here
