Any chance of closed captioning? I’d love to learn more but profoundly deaf. Thanks
Chris, thanks for asking. We don’t yet close caption (but we will) and are actively working out how to offer transcripts for free.
Since this a beginning bee keeping podcast you’ld think they would explain stuff in detail. They do a bit, but leave out so much. Beginning means that everything has to be be explained.
