“Just because there’s a bee in my bonnet, I don’t need to get too excited”

Co-founder of the Long Beach Bee Keepers, Jaime Guoz, shares the profound lessons that bees have to offer. These extremely sensitive creatures FEEL and react to even the slightest changes in emotion. Tending to a hive is true practice in patience and breath. Jamie shares how he became so passionate about this art, why bees make honey, and how beekeepers handle aggressive bees.
