Status Quo Lover ,

The best bee podcast! Jamie Ellis is a rockstar!

I was so sad when they stopped making episodes of Two Bees in A Podcast! I think I’ve listened to every episode. I seem to recall that it was originally designed to have rotating list of hosts, but then it just became the Jamie & Amy (Vu) Show. Loved it! It was great! I’m sure I’ll still listen to old episodes, but it feels like my best friend died! 😥😞☹️

No bull

The hosts stay true to scientific information and don’t forget real world experience at the same time. Information does not seem biased by commercial influence. I always enjoy the show and learn something new.
