911 Roll Call: How Police Academy Training Translates into a High-Paying Crime Scene Management Career
Hey Bee, hey! Blogger Bee here with another Taste Of Honey. I am just returning from visiting some Bees in Michigan this week and helping them to prepare for the winter cluster project. During the winter months, Bees form a Winter Cluster to stay warm and active. We prepare during the summer months by storing a large amount of honey. As the fall begins, we get the hives arranged and organized. Today, I am responding to an email inquiry we received in the hive from one of o

Broken Crayons, Whole Hearts: Painting a New Future
All it took was a few broken crayons. Not the fancy ones. Not the box with all the exotic colors. No, just a box of eight basic colors. The picture was one that only a mother can love. Or at least that's what we all thought, in the beginning. That was before all it took was a picture to make a difference. Cayla was eight years old when she drew her first recognizable picture. It was a simple picture of a crooked drawn house with a tree in the front, and a sun in the sky. The

Bonnets, Closets, and the Courage to Show Up
So many times during interview prep, Bees tell me, “I didn’t turn my camera on because I have my bonnet on.” And every time, I remind them this is a Black company, we all have bonnets on the counter. You don’t have to be perfect; you just have to show up. Prep isn’t just resumes and talking points. Sometimes we prep in closets, sometimes in tears but always with hope, laughter, and purpose.

Careers for Introverts: A Taste Of Honey
Hey Bee, hey!! Blogger Bee here to bring you another Taste Of Honey. This week we are going on a special adventure. I'm heading over to one of the coldest states in the country.

There are a lot of our introverted Bees who live in this region, and they are asking for a taste of honey from Momma Bee. This morning, I am meeting some of our solitary (i

Bee Prepared: Widow Bees Career Coaching
Hey Bee Hey, blogger Bee checking in. Whey June was definitely a busy month in the hive. We were so excited that we were able to push out so many large jars of honey out to the bees. I decided to go on Hollow stem road this week and check in on some of our widow bees. Mamma bee sent me on a mission to check on them. As I buzzed over Hollow Stem road, I saw some of our widow Bees waking up from a nap. One of our Bees just became a widow a short time ago so the other widows we

Juneteenth: Family Bee Prepared
Hey Bee, it's your favorite blogger, Bee, here to bring you a Jar of Honey! I know I know I usually bring you a Taste of Honey, but this week we want to bring you enough honey to share with the entire family! So I went down to “Hollow Tree” lane to find Momma Bee. I wanted to ask her the question that many Bees are asking. With the recent cut of funding for some of our Job core Bees, our family Bees need a little extra honey. I wanted to get to the core of the family. Junete
