In our first episode of BabylonSTORIES, we sit down for a buzzing conversation with Arné Stander, resident beekeeper at the newly launched Byzantium, and an entomologist and conservation ecologist by training. Arné brings a rare blend of scientific insight, deep care for the natural world, and a gentle charm that makes every encounter with him feel like a sweet treat.

Join us as he shares the hidden rhythms of the hives, the craft behind caring for bees at Byzantium, and why these tiny pollinators matter more than ever.
