Kate Franzman is queen of the bees in Indianapolis. Through her business Bee Public she has spent hours setting up hives, teaching people about bees and advocating on their behalf with the city council. The bees are lucky to have a friend like Kate and Indianapolis is lucky to have a resource like Kate. Kate worked the last few years as an urban farmer, but even before that she was drawn to help the bees.

In this episode, Kate and I talk about the importance of bees, what she has done to educate about bees in Indianapolis, the resources she used to work with the city council. I hope you enjoy this episode.
