Send us a textI invite you on a journey through the life of a man whose love for bees extends far beyond the norm. Henry "Hank" Sveck, a veteran real estate investor turned clinical psychologist, is now dedicating his life to an entirely different realm - the fascinating world of honeybees and their conservation. We begin our exploration with the centuries-old tale of Hank's family farm, which has evolved from a bustling commercial orchard into a sanctuary for these enchanting insects.We delve into the incredible biological adaptations that equip bees to survive harsh winter conditions, and Hank shares the surprisingly complex social structures within a hive. In an intriguing segment, we discuss the delicate balance between intervening in nature and letting it chart its own course, highlighting the surprising benefits of so-called "aggressive" bees. Our conversation then takes us to the shores of Nova Scotia, where an upcoming ecosystem restoration project promises a beacon of hope.Wrapping up, we shift our focus to practical ways we can contribute to bee conservation, from transforming our backyards into miniature meadows, to supporting initiatives that combine tourism with environmental preservation. Hank's passion for bees goes beyond their ecological importance, touching on their therapeutic potential for people suffering from PTSD, and the profound spiritual connections they can induce. It's a conversation that underscores the importance of continuous learning, respect for all beings, and the power of the smallest actions to make a difference.Support the showLink to Support this Channel: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2153284/supporters/newJulie's Book: https://amzn.to/3K2ZS05Julie's Website for more information, comments or requests: https://lifeofloveandjoy.comI receive a small commission when you purchase from these links.
