 Drs. Michael Simone-Finstrom and Dr. Frank Rinkevich, are research entomologists at the Baton Rouge Honey Bee Research Laboratory in Baton Rouge, LA. They have completed an extensive set of tests in commercial beekeeping operations on mite resistance, overwintering, honey production and virus loads of the varroa sensitive hygiene (VSH) P0L Line of honey bees bred there since the 1990s. The line, called the Pol-line is drawn from the original line to be used as pollinator bees, have as a basis for mite resistance, the VSH trait, where mites in brood cells are removed by nurse bees before they are able to complete development. Over the season these bees were subjected to moving to almonds, and from almonds to other pollination jobs or to honey production areas in MS, CA, ND and SD to sample a wide variety of environments. The results are definitely encouraging. Listen to learn more! Next on their agenda? Getting these bees into the hands commercial beekeepers so they can take advantage of the money saving, and honey bee saving attributes of these bees. Also in this episode, Jeff meets up with Dr. Dewey Caron and receives an update from on Dewey’s PNW Honey Bee Survey. Finally, before the main interview with Drs Simone and Rinkevich, Kim delivers his review of Brother Adam’s book, “Beekeeping at Buckfast Abbey”, presented by Northern Bee Books.

Pol-Line VSH Honey Bees with USDA-ARS Drs Frank Rinkevich and Mike Simone (S4, E47)

Season 7, Episode 3 - Inspiring All Human Beings To Be Their Greatest Possible Selves, Inside + Out - Mike Simone, Fitness EntrepreneurAbout MikeIt was at some point in 2009, when I sat at my desk at The New York Times, in between sales calls, I decided I needed a change. Fitness, nutrition, health, surfing, and travel were my passions. I asked myself everyday, "how could I do something with that while also helping a lot of people? "​I took to Facebook and started to write short motivational thoughts that came to mind, posted images during my workouts, and shared my favorite (but oftentimes, boring, meal choices). Once I started seeing such a positive response to what I was doing, I decided I wanted to build a site and blog. But, I didn't just want this to be a blog about "Mike working out." I wanted to promote and lift up others in the industry. It started small, but slowly more and more people joined on and started contributing in different capacities. (And I'm forever grateful for their efforts and enthusiasm.) ​After joining MEN'S FITNESS magazine's digital team  (2012-2017), many of the contributors began producing content and being featured on MENSFITNESS.com. This was a home-run for building audience, traffic, and views. (See the "Leadership" tab for specific growth numbers.) Over the course of what is approaching a decade, the HUMANFITPROJECT brand has brought together trainers, models, athletes, nutritionists, outdoor enthusiasts, photographers, videographers, and designers to create HUNDREDS of workout programs and healthy lifestyle-related content. The brand currently serves a quickly growing audience of 300,000+ followers and an email subscriber list just shy of 20,000. Connect + learn more about Mike: HUMANFITPROJECT, Michael D.
