It's the right time of the year to be focused on the bee population in Wisconsin.  Jill Welke catches up with Wisconsin's Honey Queen,  Emily Skala.  She explains the training she's gone through to make sure she's properly educating the general public about everything bees can do.  She says most people don't realize the different types of honey you can enjoy based just on what the bee is consuming!

Weather calms down a bit beginning today.  Stu Muck says that this next weather front should help farm fields dry out.

Graduation is right around the corner for college of ag students, but the job market might be a little dim.  Ben Jarboe takes the temperature of job demand with Tammy Jensen, President of AgriCareers Inc.  She says there's always a need for "farm kids" graduating with some hands-on skills.  She advises that you may need to adjust your expectations in the current job market.  Jensen says there's an emphasis on what you can bring to the business.  Sometimes that may mean being willing to take on multiple responsibilities.
