Welcome back to MAGNIFICENTLY BLACK!

We're Courtney and Jen explore good vibes . We're so excited to have you join us as we continue our mission to elevate Black excellence. "

The Magnificently Black Podcast is buzzing with knowledge in this sweet new episode, “Hive Talk: The Art of Beekeeping.” 🐝✨

We sat down with Preston Griggs, a dedicated beekeeper and Certified B Technician, to explore the fascinating world of bees, honey, and culture. Preston isn’t just about the buzz — he’s on a mission to share how beekeeping teaches us patience, balance, and the value of community.

🐝 From University to the Hive

Preston’s journey into beekeeping started during his university years, when curiosity turned into passion. What began as an interest in science and nature grew into a calling that would connect him deeply to both the earth and his community.

✅ Becoming a Certified Bee Technician

Ever wondered how someone becomes skilled enough to safely remove bees and handle swarms? Preston breaks it down — from the training required, to certification, to the hands-on experience needed to work with hives responsibly. His path shows that beekeeping isn’t just a hobby, but a respected and specialized craft.

🍯 What Bees Produce

Bees give us more than just honey! In this episode, Preston highlights the incredible products bees create, including:

• Honey – sweetest in April & May

• Beeswax – used in candles, cosmetics, and more

• Propolis & royal jelly – natural substances with powerful health benefits

Each product has a role to play in both our ecosystem and in our daily lives.

🌍 Bigger Lessons from the Hive

Beyond the science, Preston reflects on the lessons bees teach us: teamwork, discipline, patience, and the importance of balance. The hive becomes a symbol of what we can accomplish when we move with purpose, unity, and care for our community.
