Nic Dowse is the Founder and head of HoneyFingers, a creative beekeeping practice combining honey-making, poetry and art in Melbourne, Australia.

Olivia Cummings, founder of jewellery brand Cleopatra's Bling, talks to Nic about about how urban beekeeping has been transformed and how communities have kept bee culture alive throughout history. Promoting, exploring and experimenting with bee cultures– the intersection between bees and humanity - this is what Honey Fingers is all about.

Cleopatra's Bling Podcast was produced by Studio Ochenta, a Paris-based podcast studio dedicated to raising voices across cultures through international podcasts. Original music by Cameron Alva.
