About this episode
On this Memorial Day, we pause to reflect on the meaning of service, sacrifice, and the families who carry that burden. In this special episode, Jeff shares his own story of military transition, how beekeeping became a source of healing, and why he's launching a new nonprofit: The Healing Hive Project. This initiative will create a retreat and training center for veterans and first responders using the therapeutic power of honey bees.What’s Inside This Episode:A personal message of gratitude to Gold Star families and those who serveReflections on military transition, loss, and reconnecting with purposeA behind-the-scenes look at the vision for The Healing Hive ProjectFacilities, programming, and how the beekeeping community can get involvedCall for volunteers, donors, and partners to support this missionA reminder to show grace on Memorial Day — and to educate with kindnessWhy Listen to This Episode:If you’re a veteran, first responder, or someone who believes in the power of nature to heal, this episode shares the story behind a meaningful new direction.
