EcoRadio KC
EcoRadio KC is a magazine show, including live segments, prerecorded stories, and interviews. The weekly explores our interdependence with the rest of the world, showing the connections between the ways we choose to live and the health of the whole community of life.
For our show on Monday February 14th, host Terri Wilke brings you a SWEET topic – bees and the nectar, HONEY, they bring from nectar. First, she speaks with Marty Hansen, an apiarist (beekeeper), from Belton Missouri. You can hear discussion of the practice of beekeeping.

Marty is a member of Northeastern Kansas Beekeepers Association (NEKBA) and the Missouri State Beekeepers Association. Both of the beekeeping organizations will have upcoming lessons on how to keep bees. You can learn of these dates on their websites.

Please read about Marty in the Martin City Telegraph. He talks about how to keep bees and he asks us to call him if we see a swarm of bees. Rather than exterminate them, any local beekeeper would like to take those bees home to a hive.

Terri’s second guest is Rachael Messner, co-owner with Erik Messner of Messner Bee Farms. Messner Bee Farms keeps bees and sells honey to eat and they also produce candles and health and beauty products from bees’ wax, honey, and bee pollen.

It’s all about bees and their honey.
