Honey isn’t just something you stir into tea; it’s a reflection of soil, flowers, and the ecosystems that sustain us. In this episode of the What’s Up Solar Podcast, Emmitt Muckles sits down with Thad of Chicago’s Westside Bee Boyz, a true “bee entrepreneur,” to explore how local honey connects us to nature in ways most people never realize.

Thad shares why Chicago is full of unexpected beekeepers, how soil health changes the taste of honey, and why clover in your lawn is a lifeline for pollinators. We get into beeswax candles as “natural Lysol,” the surprising toughness of creatures like mice and spiders, and how your yard can become an oasis for monarchs, birds, and bees alike.

This episode is sweet, raw, and buzzing with insights that tie honey to ecology, community, and balance.
