This week, Dave Wescott and Scott Calentine interviewed to Dr. Timothy Lawrence, emeritus of Washington State University. Dr. Lawrence wrote an interesting article that got our attention, "2023 is looking like one of the worst years for honey bees in nearly two decades" (link below). Dr. Timothy Lawrence has an extensive history in the bee world from raising bees and beekeeping at a young age to commercial beekeeping. Dr. Lawrence has spent time as a professor through Washington State University and has a deep understanding of bee genetics and queen rearing. He is one of the most knowledgeable bee experts around.
