New VofV Podcast Episode - Rise of the City Bee: Building Urban Bee Farms

Posted on September 28, 2021 12:06 PM by WGCIT

Detroit Hives has one goal: transforming vacant lots in Detroit into urban bee farms.

In this episode of the Voices of the Valley podcast, Detroit Hives’ founders Timothy Paule and Nicole Lindsey speak about the steps it took to build one of the very first urban bee farms. During the interview, they delve into how their ever-expanding bee farm is bringing diversity and cognizance to bee awareness, rebuilding inner-city communities and supporting technology being developed to save the declining bee population. Plus, they speak about the magic behind local raw honey curing “incurable” colds!
