EP-003 Honey Bee My Teacher Podcast

Hosted by Patti Haines

Produced by Jay Fratt

Our little friends the bees create such a magical community for themselves. The super organism doesn't just happen from magic though. Hard work goes into creating a thriving hive environment. Patti takes a look at how the bees rebuild their community when disaster strikes. She draws parallels to our own human condition in regards to mental health and environmental toxicity.

Patti had a tough winter with total loss of her hives. She draws strength from the resiliency of the bee, and is currently starting from scratch. She discusses where she is at in this process, and gives some advice to beginners.

Communities are built through hard work and networking. Patti shares her steps to daily relationship building within her hive community.

This episode has it all from mental health lessons from the bees to recovering from loss. It's a fun ride. Thank you for joining us.
