About this episode

I think you are going to love this episode, it is a fascinating interview with Eimear Chaomhánach about Irish Bee folklore and customs. Eimear is a beekeeper’s daughter and a student of folklore, and she wrote a beautiful book called the The Keeper of The bees which weaves folktales about bees with memories of growing up in a beekeeping household, collecting swarms with her father and learning how to harvest honey. A interesting look at the beliefs and traditions about bees and beekeeping.I hope you enjoy it, Yvonne Johnston, Host of Love The Bees Podcast x
