Sustainability Matters Today

In this episode, my guest is Camilla Goddard, founder and owner of Capital Bee (http://www.capitalbee.co.uk), an urban beekeeping operation in London, England. Camilla keeps around 70 beehives for businesses and organisations around London, teaches beekeeping courses on the rooftop of a 4-star luxury hotel, and finds homes for vulnerable bumblebees and honeybees. We start with Camilla's journey getting started in beekeeping and go into the importance of bees for both the environment and humans and why they play a crucial role in our ecosystem. Although Camilla recognises the challenges bees are facing, she is hopeful they can adapt and flourish, despite urbanisation and climate change.  Resources Hornbeam wood purchased via https://woodlands.co.uk; Varroa Mites feed on larvae: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varroa_destructor; Quakers greatly value sustainability: https://www.quaker.org.uk/our-work/sustainability; Beekeeping workshops at the St. Ermine's Hotel London: https://www.sterminshotel.co.uk/offe
