It was a pleasure to have Joel Salatin on the channel for a quick chat and interview. I hope you enjoy this chat with Joel. Joel offered up 3 rules that are followed at Polyface farms used in managing colonies in his brothers Apiary.

Below are Links to some of the Equipment and Products that I use in the Apiary at Castle Hives. Looking for the best wax dipped boxes on the market, try Wax Dipped Boxes from Nature's Image Farm. Look no further than Lorob Bees for your Vaporizer, amazing customer service and products. Looking for a supplement, try Hive Alive. The number 1 rated supplement. Use code BRIAN10 to get 10% off HiveAlive supplement and HiveAlive fondant. Looking for an Insulated Hive, look no further than Apimaye.
