This week we'll be introducing our Summer Interns from Pace University, Davionna &. Vanessa! 🐝 "Bee-U gives me the opportunity to teach and empower others on a topic I feel very passionately about, saving the bees and the plant. I'm so grateful to have found this incredible community to spend my summer with! " - Vanessa "Bee-U allows me to create media content that promotes positivity and benefits our community. I am dedicated to producing high-quality content that spreads positive messages. I appreciate Bee University NYC's mission and enjoy collaborating with the communication team to highlight BeeU's engaging and educational programs, which have taught me about the crucial role of bees in our environment and motivate me to advocate for sustainability." -Davionna

Cohort 1 of the Urban Beekeeping Fellowship is more than half way complete! 15 students from across New York City have been training in beekeeping, environmental advocacy, and leadership.

Today we'll be introducing our Programs Team - Michelle, Ethel, and Denis 🐝 "The Urban Beekeeping Fellowship is a program I wish I had participated in during the summer months when I was home from college. This experience can help cultivate a deeper understanding of the environment surrounding us and encourage our youth to seek green jobs. Bee-U is the next step for those looking to find themselves and understand the importance of nature, all while exploring fun workshops/classes centralized around our favorite little pollinators, Bees!" - Denis "What I enjoy most about working at Bee-U is connecting with others on topics that need more attention. This year, the program has expanded environmental advocacy and awareness. Having a safe space to discuss these topics is something I look forward to every Sunday." -Ethel " I love working at Bee-U because it allows me to give back to the community. There's no better feeling than bringing people together to work towards a better tomorrow!" - Michelle
