Why Bees Are Swarming Our Cities

Season 2 Episode 5 | 10m 31s

In the midst of a widespread honeybee decline across the US, Nicole Rivera Hartery has made it her mission to provide accessible beekeeping classes to people of all ages in her community. Through hands-on hive tours and educational programs for kids, Nicole is working to dismantle a fear of insects, deepen respect for pollinators, and remind us all that bees—and women who care for them—are vital.
