CHARLIE BEE COMPANY, WELCOME TO TEXAS BEEKEEPING
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 10 PM

In the premiere episode of Charlie Bee Company, Charlie hunts for bees in a wall that survived a removal more than 10 years ago. This time, he’s here for them all! The bee mobile gets a makeover, Charlie meets soap makers who love his honey, then he tackles an angry Africanized hive in an old oak tree. But nothing will stop Charlie from saving the bees — the only thing getting crushed is the job!

Bees, Beer and Bikes
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29, 10 PM

Charlie visits the oldest hardware store in Texas and then a local brewery to grab some gear and a honey ale. What can't honey be in? Charlie tries out a new bike, gets an assist on a removal from his very own queen bee, Charlie's wife, Kaye -- who has an eye for finding queen bees. Charlie attempts a hive removal at possibly the largest fireplace ever made. This hive is hidden under a good chunk of fireplace, covered in thick, tough rock. But that's okay, Charlie is here to save the day!
