#4 - Adventures in Dirt and Honey
“Adventures in Dirt and Honey” dug into the world of bees with Sarah Red-Laird who has come to the conclusion that there are two simple things she can do to help our bees. One- to teach all of the children in the world to love bees. Two- to help regenerate the soil, on farms and pastures across the west and beyond, with flowers. Easy, right?! Not really. But such a great adventure!
