Listen "Episode 141: Bees in the D"
Episode Synopsis
Why are the hippies always screaming about "saving the bees?" Well because the hippies are smart. Don't disrespect the hippies.
Bees make the world go round! Bees make plants grow and plants make food grow. And now that urban agriculture is gaining traction, we need bees in the city.
This week Cassidy interviews Brian Peterson-Roest, one of the founders of Bees in the D, a non-profit that's working to bring bees to the city of Detroit. And in case you're skeptical, in the six years Bees in the D has been around, they've helped increase production on urban farms by tenfold.
Yeah, bees are that good.
Tune in so you too can start yelling at people to "save the bees!"
