Kwao—Thank you for allowing me to pick your brain on drives to and from the hives. Thank you for your kind patience when I was nervous and overheating. I cherish all of the stories you recounted to me about your experiences with bees. I’ve been sharing them with people in my life who are equally as in awe as I am!
Agape—I am enchanted by your boundless knowledge and perspective on life. Thank you for sharing your sage wisdom on essential oils and plant medicine. I truly enjoyed each one of our lengthy conversations about anything and everything.
To the donors who made my internship possible, thank you for taking a chance on an unconventional opportunity. This unique experience afforded me with a barrage of transferable skills and life-long stories. I’ve developed a newfound appreciation for bees, sustainable beekeepers, and our food system. I am now actively seeking opportunities to go back into the hives.
Best wishes,
Yadira
