The Falling Leaves... Summer's Soft Farewell

The Falling Leaves... Summer's Soft Farewell

This is an episodic podcast, so you can listen to it in any order, but episode one is a great place to start.

Listen to episode one here

A bee flies close. Most people tense up. Even grown-ups.

But what if you knew what it was actually doing?

Tonight, we follow a bee smaller than your fingertip, covered in soft fuzzy hairs, almost always on her way somewhere.

Inside the hive, bees build perfect hexagons and use a “waggle dance” to tell each other, in complete darkness, exactly where the flowers are.

By the end, a bee flying near you won’t feel dangerous.

Just busy. Just trying to get home.

Like you, tonight.
