Sophie Glassman, The Huneebee Project

Absolutely.

You know, I'm a little bit older than you, but the taxes, you know, things like TurboTax have made it so much easier.

Let me ask you, so I got a lot of questions.

You know, when I was telling folks that you were coming on the show, the, the, I kind of got that initial Scooby-Doo reaction, like, how do you, you know, It doesn't seem like a natural, like beekeeping and at-risk youth or kids that need additional help.

But it sounds like, from what you're saying, that it kind of...

There's a lot of...

Things that beekeeping can teach you about life and about being a responsible adult, right?

Definitely, yeah.

So we were formed as a way because, as I said, Sarah saw gaps in the system.

So she said, I'll create a new system.

And the method of utilizing where she was at with beekeeping was realizing that when you are in maybe a specific traumatic situation, Situation or struggling in whatever way obviously as I said like we have this grander wraparound support but the bees themselves are incredibly therapeutic and it has to do with sort of like overarching sensory input where you're you can't think of anything except the fact that I am surrounded by thousands and thousands of bees and they're so loud and

I was going to say the buzzing won't let you forget.

No,

not at all.

And it's like ASMR.

It's satisfying and it's soothing.

And they actually release a scent that is therapeutic and pleasing.

It's not an essential oil, but it functions similarly.

So

if you're in a swarm, you can actually smell the swarm? Yes.

It's probably not going to be the swarm.

It's rooted in the hives themselves.

Yeah.

I'm not a beekeeper, so I don't know all of the science particulars, but I do know that much.

And it's also things like it's scary to get stung.

Absolutely.
