What is the purpose of the Deeper Lore bonus episode and how does it relate to Lore 314?
Hey folks, Aaron here. Welcome back to another edition of Deeper Lore, a short bonus episode that will dig through our archive of 11 plus years of topics to point out some old episodes that fit nicely with this week's newest. My hope is that maybe you can keep the spooky feeling going well into the weekend and put a handful of old episodes into a new, more powerful context. So, let's get started. In this week's episode, Lore 314, Hive Mind, we look in a very unexpected place for some truly weird folklore, the practice of beekeeping.
How does the episode connect beekeeping folklore to the broader theme of natural world myths?
It might be a bit less scary than some other folktales, but that doesn't make it any less fascinating. And it's also not the first time that we've discussed the natural world's role in folklore. So here are three older episodes that should pair up nicely with this week's new one. First, episode 166, Toxic. You can't talk about bees without mentioning flowering plants.
Why is Episode 166 “Toxic” recommended for listeners interested in the Hive Mind episode?
Plants that have, for centuries, been the main ingredients in some truly deadly concoctions. This story about one of history's greatest poisoners is a thrill ride, so do check it out.

It's an episode that puts epidemics in a new perspective and offers some surprising lessons along the way.
