Interview with Lauren Pascarella

Thanks for tuning into this episode of the Attic Bee Podcast!

Imagine having a honey bee "Venus fly-trapped" in your eyelashes, or stepping on a large nail while carrying a hive box (that you thought was empty!) full of agitated bees. Lauren Pascarella of BayBees Honey shares these tales and more!

During my interview with Lauren, we cover a lot of ground, including her ongoing challenges with Metabolic Myopathy, the meditative qualities of beekeeping - even for people with ADHD, the importance of joining a bee club and finding a mentor, record keeping for your business, and creating safe habitats for native pollinators.
