This week's guest is a creative powerhouse who has harnessed her talents to build a successful beekeeping business and has established herself as a leader in the industry. Mandy got to spend time with her while she was in Portland promoting her new book, Queenspotting. She attended her book reading and signing at Powell’s bookstore and afterwards they visited over cocktails and delicious popcorn. Mandy was really happy to spend time getting to know the person behind the fame prior to recording this episode, which was planned for the following day. They had originally planned to have the interview at the international rose test garden, but traffic that afternoon was really gnarly and when Mandy went to pick her up she saw how close she was staying to an even better interview spot. So Mandy made a quick phone call to a friend to see if they could use his space for the afternoon, and the rest was history… Meet Hilary Kearney of Girl Next Door Honey!

"We have trained bee's to do a lot of crazy things. They've been trained to do addition and subtraction and to recognize different artists. For example, they trained bee's to identify Aboriginal art from Picasso! They've also trained them to smell bombs and...to smell cancer. There's just so many different crazy experiments that have been done where they've taught bee's all these different things! And, not only are the bee's able to learn but they're able to communicate to us that they learned. To me, that's nuts!" - Hilary Kearney Meet Hilary Kearney, the founder of Girl Next Door Honey, a beekeeping business that focuses on bee-centric programs such as natural beekeeping classes, apiary management (which is basically backyard beekpeeing), classroom presentations, beehive tours, live bee removal and more! In this episode we cover: - The entrepreneurial journey that led Hilary to founding a beekeeping business (let's just say beekeeping was never on the agenda) - The intelligence of bee's & how they communicate with each other - The difference between honeybee's and bumblebee's - How climate change and pesticides are killing bee's - What we, as individuals, can do to help protect bee's and what to do in case we come across a swarm of bee's - Her struggle to find a manageable work/life balance - Her love/hate relationship to technology - And so much more! This was such a great conversation! Happy listening. Connect with Girl Next Door Honey: Instagram Facebook
What do daisies, squash, and queen bees have in common.

This week we are harvesting radishes, lettuce, spinach, and green onions.Our flower this week is daisies, members of the Compositeae or Asteraceae family. (Same family, different names.)We are reminded of this quote: “Bees do have a smell, you know, and if they don't they should, for their feet are dusted with spices from a million flowers.” Ray Bradbury Some of our favorite daisy and daisy-type flowers include:Leucanthemum × superbum (Shasta Daisies) ‘Banana Cream' and ‘Becky,' Leucanthemum vulgare (oxeye daisy), Erigeron annuus (Eastern daisy fleabane) Matricaria recutita (Chamomile) This week's vegetable is summer squash, including varieties like Crookneck and Cue Ball.
