Episode 160

John Jacob started Old Sol Enterprises LLC in 1997 with the goals of creating and sharing sustainable farming practices with an emphasis on beekeeping and pollinators.  John’s educational background includes a BS in biology with minors in Economics and Chemistry from Southern Oregon University.   Old Sol has pioneered a bee breeding program to develop disease tolerant bees and innovative farming practices such as agrivoltaics for pollinator habitat and commercial beekeeping. Stuck at home with 5 gallon batches and unable to share? How about doing small batch projects and storing them in large Pepsi or Coke bottles? And with the right attachment, you can even carb up your small batch right in the bottle. Then as always, we end the show with Facebook/Reddit friends. Iron Bee 2020 is on!
