What Honeybees Can Teach Us About Shaping Change | Ang Roell | TEDxEasthamptonWomen

When we think about the social structure of a bee hive, it is easy to imagine the queen as the leader. But while the queen may be vital to the hive's survival, she is by no means the sole decision maker. Rather, the destiny of a hive is determined through the collaboration and collective thinking of the entirety of its population. In this talk, beekeeper Ang Roell discusses how this hive mentality can be applied to society, and can help us to make more informed, collective decisions taking into account a broad range of stakeholders. Ang Roell, an organizational change consultant and professional beekeeper, will explore the connections between honeybees and humans through their presentation What Honeybees Can Teach Us About Shaping Change. While Ang’s work is deeply rooted in rural places, they grew up in an apartment in Queens. Their favorite childhood explorations happened roaming the park near their house, while climbing trees and searching for bird and squirrel nests. Ang is inspired by collaborative ecological systems, Adrienne Maree Brown, their bee friend and mentor Sam Comfort, and the folks at Out in the Open (Brattleboro, VT), who provide opportunities for gathering queer community in rural places. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
