07 Sarah Common – Hive for Humanity: Keeping People Healthy with Bees

Today on the show we explore bees and their social impact. In 2012, Sarah Common co-founded Hives for Humanity Society, alongside her mother, Julia, in response to a gap she saw in opportunities for connection to nature, to community and to meaningful work for marginalized citizens. She has coordinated partnerships between a variety of organizations and businesses, developing programming that builds self-worth and community pride. We talk about how it got founded, how it works, and tips for other groups looking to do something similar in their communities. For more, visit us at pollinationpodcast.oregonstate.edu.
