“Ooooooh…” 2024 marks our 4th season with a beehive at our corporate headquarters, and that’s the sound we all made when we met the queen.
Did you know honey bees will forage as far as three miles from the hive, carrying as much as four times their weight in pollen on each trip? Thanks to Dana McMullin, our Alvéole beekeeper, for introducing us to our newest 10,000 buzzing tenants and sharing some fun facts about these small but mighty creatures.

Love it!!! My daughter, Chloe, is a certified beekeeper! 💞 🐝 Bees are amazing. Congrats on your new position at Crate & Barrel, Joan!!! They are so lucky to have you.
DID YOU KNOW?
The earliest instance of beekeeping dates back at least 4,500 years and is said to be second to the “oldest profession” 😊.
AND
Honey bees pollinate approximately one third of the food we consume. 🐝🐝🐝
Further, the second oldest trade is also occupied by small/family business owners, predominately men of a certain age, who dedicate their lives to this fine agricultural art.
Ben Moore, owner of Ben's Bees, https://lnkd.in/g24pxR3G located in Victoria, Australia, joined me live on air back in December last year at the 94.1FM 3WBC studios.
He so generously shared an amazing insight into his buzzing world and what a miraculous hive of industry, love and enjoyment apiculture (beekeeping) truly is. 🍯
Ben also spoke openly about his recent experience of losing a good mate and fellow beekeeper to suicide and the effect on how he now approaches life. We discussed some of the risk factors of men working in isolation and other social determinants that everyone can recognise by way of reducing risk.

Exciting times ahead, friends! 🌟 PETA has proposed a fresh twist on Easter traditions by suggesting we swap out egg hunts for potato pursuits. The proposal to Jill Biden aims at creating a new eco-friendly and animal-conscious tradition. Imagine the potential of a Spud Sprint taking over the iconic Egg Roll. It’s not just about being innovative; it’s about evolving our festivities in ways that are kinder to our planet and its inhabitants.
Could this pave the way for a new Easter custom? It's an intriguing idea that has the power to reshape how we celebrate, ensuring our festivities reflect contemporary values of sustainability and compassion. Let’s open up the floor for discussion. Could you see potatoes becoming the stars of Easter? 🥔💚 #EasterEggRevolution
