Wow, my previous experience with bee keepers were all of middle aged grumpy men. This beautifully attractive young lady was very knowledgeable and soothingly interesting about her endorsement to bee keeping. Keep up the great work your doing and thanks to Joe Rogan for having you appear on his podcast. Yours Sincerely George from Down Under 🇦🇺

I love how you always ask the appropriate questions Joe! I’m a backyard beekeeper and this was a great episode! You’re pollinating the mind of the masses!
I love listening and watching Erika’s videos. I started keeping bees about 1 1/2 years ago and I totally love it as well. I love telling people about bees as well.
Miss Erika is more of yogi than almost all of the yogis I've met in 20 years of practicing and 10 years of teaching yoga. Her beekeeping interactions are loving, kind and compassionate.She represents the union of physical and energetic - humans and nature. I loved this podcast. This is so beautiful and a lesson for all of humanity.
Notice that there has never been a controlled study that proves that local honey does not help with allergies. Anecdotal evidence from several people I know says that it does help. People that are interested should buy some local honey and try it out. No money lost at all. Good honey and possible help with allergies!❤
An apiculturist had asked to put hives on my property. He put in 8 hives stacked 4 to 6 sections high each. At first i was all in as it seemed like such a good idea, all the trees and flowers were buzzing with swarms, it was so nice. But eventually dearly regretted that decision. My horses couldnt drink, my chickens couldnt drink, we could not eat outdoors. Every single receptacle of water that appeared would end up absolutely covered in swarms in minutes and shortly after be filled with drowned bees. Our eavestroughs were overrun, all of the livestock's tubs were absolutely covered in swarms dead and alive. They were gentle, but most animals are naturally repelled by the buzzing and so I lost livestock to dehydration. They also chased away all of the native wild bees that previously were around. We tolerated them 2 summers in a row and then they had to go. The native bees eventually came back but it took awhile. I still love bees but not so much apiculture or it's impact on native species.
I was terrified of bees until her videos started showing up on my feed. Now when I see them, I take a deep breath, remember her calm voice, admire them from a distance, and go on with my day. Wasps can kick dirt though, still hate those mfers
I have a very relaxed relationship to bees. It seems like they really don't care about you if you don't trouble them. Like they have shit to do and places to be(e). Wasps, on the other hand, will be in your face like they want a fight. I'll give them the fight and it usually ends up in their demise.
What a beautiful queen bee she is. Nothing better listening to a beautiful soul like this talking about her passion and love of bees bless her. So authentic which is why she has a large following. Keep doing what you do (your way) and never change.
I live in Lithuania and from ancient times our ancestors were watching at bees as a holy creatures, and indeed they are absolutely amazing hard working little buddys. ❤
She says upwards of 20000 varieties of bees polinate our produce. The amount of polinators not spoken of is immense! If you plant or allow native plants to flower within your garden you will see massive benefits to your crop
Come oooooooonnn people 574 views no no no.. everyone needs to watch this.. she is such a pro at the subject..she is so beautiful and she has such a lovely voice..😍
Man, that’s one laid back lady. She’s so calm. Just from listening to her for the last ten minutes, my blood pressure decreased and I feel mellow. God Joe gets some cool people to show up on here.
I’ve got the 4.5’s. They’re a nice boot. I got them from RMATVMC on your recommendation several years ago. Your fit guarantee was a big reason over shopping at a local dealer. They are noisy and squeaky when you walk around. I’ve had trouble with a buckle or two. Dirt wear kept them from fully snapping shut. They were very scary to fix with the blind nutsert hidden inside the fabric moving around. I absolutely love the ankle support, price point, protection, feel, and enduro sole lugs. Great protection for me.
She literally stopped posting new videos after this came out. At first I thought it was because they don't do this type of bee moving during the winter but still nothing but some repeat clips a year and a half later. I don't know if the company got some backlash for being on Rogan's podcast or they were just satisfied or not satisfied with the additional income or lack there of from views after the podcast and decided to just stick to doing their normal work.
Yes. For a few reasons. 1. Bee keeping community came after her out of jealousy for doing this pod cast, they called her a fraud and all sorts of names. 2. Then the woke side of tiktock came after her because they thought she was a Trump supporter. It all boils down to toxic leftoids trying to ruin peoples lives
@@brandonlantier I think Joe just signed a new contract with Spotify that allows these videos to go on youtube. Could be wrong, but that's what I read.
This video got immediately buried on the channel upon publishing, you have to scroll down like a year to find it. The 15min shorter video of her that was published a year ago of this had over 1M views
42:45 to 43:25 explains exactly how I feel riding motorcycle on track, especially when I'm getting on the throttle coming out of a corner. Everyone can get that, you just need to find your bee, or bike.
Stop working against the grain folks! She is a bee in human form. We all need to help other species of animals on this planet succeed. Think of our world as a superorganism
That's because you're probably uneducated. If you studied subjects like physics, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, philosophy, history, and psychology (and weren't surrounded by other religious zealots to influence your thinking) the likelihood of you believing in god would be low. Religion is philosophy for the dumb. From billions of neurons in the brain giving rise to consciousness, to particles behaving in ways that challenge our classical understanding of reality, and celestial monsters like black holes sucking everything in their path into an abyss, the universe is fantastical enough. There's no need to add imaginary sky daddies to the mix.
Hornets are one of the most stubborn insects. First day as a Pest Control Tech. First customer, Hornets. I'm jazzed up. I'm out to prove my worth to my company. Get a call from the boss on the way up there, which is out of the ordinary. Even on our ride alongs I never heard the boss call any of the Senior Techs. Anyway, I pull up, the lady peeks out of her shades, looks around in the distance, and opens the door. She asks if I'm okay. Odd question, but she tells me they're everywhere in the back. I investigate. 5 or 6 total. They're aggressive. 3.5 inches or so long, fat boogers. They are zooming past me, but I put good head movement and footwork to go and grab my things. So, I came back with a couple of cans of spray. 5 or 6 turned into 20. So, I grabbed my other equipment. It's now full carnage back there. I dropped around 5. They sting me right in the back of the thigh. I see the lady from the window just in awe. I have 4 gallons of chem, and I'm losing this battle. I couldn't locate the hive. My theory, was it was in the neighboring yard. I called my boss and told him the situation. I've been to hundreds and hundreds of homes. That was the worst I have ever experienced. Guess they thought, "Let's send that rookie that thinks he's hotshit." As long as it's not a swarm and you can locate them. They are fairly simple to get rid of. They will normally keep rebuilding if knocked down a few times, but they learn from their failures. They will move on if you're brave enough to knock the nest down a few times, but you need to do it from a distance.
That’s terrifying, I hate hornets and wasps. Please tell me you don’t kill bees though too, I was just talking to my son about the importance of protecting the bees and never to kill one intentionally.
@@tianna1116 never. Most pest control places won’t deal with bee’s of course each state has its regulations. Either the department of agriculture or the EPA deal with this. They won’t allow anyone who doesn’t specialize in bees to remove or spray bees. Pest control technicians can’t even spray flowers for this very reason. When spraying for pest a good and more seasoned vets think about the ecosystem. Of the pest you kill or spray for, what are the odds a bird eats one of the bugs. Highly likely, how many of those birds may become prey themselves. A partial percentage. This trickles onward. This is why the state regulates these things. Can’t have people out spraying things they’re not suppose to and not using the right amounts.
Wow thing about beezes ...and finding the queen ,,, Feels really like a twin flamme story....ME being the bee... Makin my way to the queen! Beez' s steps at a time! :P Knowing time is always now! Love that episode! Thank you! Love!
I am so inlove with this girl. Her husband has to be the luckiest man on earth. I am so happy that her parents supported her and it seems her husband also. I really wish the best for her.
'The whole hive is really pervaded by the life of love. The individual bees relinquish love but develop it instead throughout the hive. And so we start to understand bee existence if we recognize that the bee lives in an air, an atmosphere, that is entirely impregnated with love. ' Rudolph Steiner
The most interesting podcast I’ve ever seen on bees. I learned so much but when you say they develop this or that skill, I believe that God created every skill, instinct, or action that they have. And this podcast proves that. You need to write a book with everything you covered in this podcast.
She is fine looking, I've seen her shows or her videos on bees she doesn't want any protection when she's harvesting and she's getting a beehive that's in someone's section of a house corner or in the yard somewheres or wherever it's just such a soft voice such a pleasing voice
When he’s accosting her about the cell phones and she’s like ffs as someone who actually works with these bees I have no idea wtf you’re talking about. She deserves an opportunity to be on a pod with people like JR that are pushing 5g conspiracies bc that’s his whole audience.

I need glasses. I read "Backward beekeeper" 🤣
Doing important work bro ty❤
I see what you did there
Me and my buddy had a 5 minute conversation about how cool bees are and 98% of my knowledge came from this interview . Rewatching it😂
Only 5 minutes? I mean, a WHOLE FIVE MINUTES??! 😮
Yeah and I'm thinking a 95% female to 5% male ratio and males don't work alot?? I want to paint stripes on my ass as we speak!😂😂😂😂
Are there no books whre you live?
nothing more fascinating than someone talk about something they absolutely love
Smart, beautiful, kind, humble - a very special lady, a very special human.
She is so focused and dedication to her passion, truly a treasure for the honeybee industry. But the way she says "Bees" is Mesmerizing.
she is so calm even when talking. she is special human. just so calm about her voice. just amazing personality

Oh. I've seen a bunch of her RUclips videos, but I never knew her name before.
I can't believe anyone can doubt there's a Creator when you see what bees can do & how there's an order to all of it. I love God's creation.

Great discussion, that lady is beautiful and smart, a rare combination in the wild Earth population. You could say, she's the "bees knees" :D
I know shes more than her looks but i cant get over how beautiful she is. Plus her honey toned voice.
For now on I identify as a honey bee. I hope one day Erika catches me lol. She's the Queen.
Joe: "Yes---look, we live in very, VERY bee-zarre times...but did you know I need to accomplish difficult things and do cold plunges?"
Great conversation...so informative.
Bee keepers have the prettiest eyes ... because beauty is in the eye of the "bee holder"
The most interesting podcast I’ve ever seen on bees. I learned so much but when you say they develop this or that skill, I believe that God created every skill, instinct, or action that they have. And this podcast proves that. You need to write a book with everything you covered in this podcast.
I’d like to know more about the Africanized be and how it affects the bees in the US
Great advice on content producers, Joe!!!
This totally educated me on the life of bees and the little roll of the males play! 😅
Erika has got me into bees 🐝
What an absolute beauty. Lovely
Bees are awesome without them life on earth would cease to exist
Not necessarily, in the USA the native pollinators was primarily ants and butterflies.
Zángano (male bee) is what my grandmother used to call people that were lazy, or when I didn' t want to do something
