Beeweaver

Season 1 Episode 8 | 55m 23s

In the final episode of Season 1, Charlie goes behind the scenes at a full-scale commercial beekeeping operation dating back to the 1800s. After removing a huge open-air hive in Houston, Charlie tries his hand at Beeweaver Apiaries: shaking packages, sorting bees, and rearing queens -- from grafting larva to their mating flight. Finally, Charlie drops the mic in his very own song and music video.

Aired: 02/19/22 | Expires: 04/01/23
Charlie Bee Company is presented by Austin PBS, KLRU-TV and is distributed by American Public Television.
