In this episode of We Are Lake Norman, host Ryan Webber sits down with Justin Orders, founder of Queens Orders Honey, to explore the fascinating world of beekeeping and how it became a thriving business. Justin shares his journey from his first experience in a beehive seven years ago to creating multiple revenue streams including his innovative Hive Host Program, where he sets up and maintains beehives in people's yards so they can enjoy fresh honey and improved pollination without the work.

Discover the science behind how bees pollinate, why local honey can help with seasonal allergies, and the surprising benefits of having honeybees on your property. Justin explains how honeybees are essential pollinators responsible for about a third of the food we eat, and why pollinator conservation is so critical in today's environment.

Learn about the challenges beekeepers face, from managing swarms to dealing with the occasional sting (Justin gets stung almost daily!), and hear Justin's passion for giving bees a voice and advocating for all pollinators—not just honeybees. Whether you're curious about beekeeping, interested in supporting local pollinators, or looking for ways to improve your garden's productivity, this episode is packed with insights and practical advice.
