Chief Crowchild and the Bees

Season 2 Episode 1: About Bees, Culture & Curiosity Podcast – Chief Crowchild and the Bees  Chief Lee Crowchild of Tsuut'ina Nation is a member of a family designated as the Keepers of the Bees. He tells us of childhood summers spent sleeping in a tent that carried the symbol of the bee. But it was not until later in life that he tasted honey from a hive behind his house when he realized how deeply bees were embedded in his life.  In this episode, we learn a bit about the culture of the Tsuut'ina people and the Chief's honey bee apiary that helped build respect for the bees and skills, knowledge, and self-esteem for people at Tsuut'ina. You will also hear about a bee-welcoming smudge ceremony that still fills Ron with wonder. Please subscribe, like, love, and follow. We live or die by your adulation.
