Today, we talk with Julia Mahood, a Master Beekeeper in Georgia. Julia is fascinated with drone honey bees and especially Drone Congregation Areas. To find out more about DCA’s, she is on a quest to find as many as she can across her Georgia community. She started by reading all she could find, then went looking using an artificial queen lure on the end of a very tall stick. That didn’t work. She switched to weather balloons and that much better, so eventually she started using mechanical drones, with cameras and lots of range. Some of what she’s found so far hasn’t been reported before she started this quest. She’s finding them now and has created an online map so others can contribute – as a citizen science effort to locate as many as possible. But there’s more. She also works with the Georgia Department of Corrections teaching beekeeping in one of their women’s prisons.

Drones and Mapping Drone Congregation Areas with Julia Mahood (S5, E42)

I had the pleasure of spending some more time with Julia Mahood, a Master Beekeeper from Georgia that we visited a few months back. This interview was recorded on March 30th, just at the beginning of the quarantine here in the US before we realized the extent of our social and physical confinement. I only went back and listened to it very recently to get it ready to publish and I just want to say how timely this conversation and topic felt. It made me pause and reflect on what quarantine at home is like, and how grateful I am for this charmed life.   Read more about Beekeeping at Arrendale State Prison here.   Check out our website at www.beekeeperconfidential.com and join our community forum! You can also find Beekeeper Confidential on Facebook and Instagram.
