## Resource

Episode 373 | Saving Bees from Colony Collapse—With Shungite Derek Condit joins us to discuss bees, colony collapse disorder, shungite, and his experimental shungite beehives initiative. Derek is a Washington-based entrepreneur, educator, and founder of The Natural Beekeeper’s Path, a nonprofit focused on supporting beekeepers, pollinator awareness, and emergency response efforts involving bees. We talk about why these unique insects are essential, what stressors may be contributing to colony losses, how bees navigate and communicate, what shungite is, and Derek's efforts exploring hive materials and environments in support of bee health and beekeeper education.
