Our guest this week on the Gardenerd Tip of the Week Podcast is Charlotte Ekker Wiggins, a fellow beekeeper and writer. We chat about her ingenious beekeeping tips, as well as her tricks for gardening on a limestone hillside.
Charlotte is author of the award-winning book, The Beekeeper’s Diary, and several others. She’s also has done a TEDx talk on Why Bugs Matter. She’s chatting with us today from her home in Rolla, Missouri.
