What can honeybees teach us about building a healthier planet — and a sustainable business? Dr. Noah Wilson-Rich, CEO of The Biodiversity Lab and founder of Urban Bee Lab and The Best Bees Company, grew a backyard beekeeping project into a nationwide research network powering insights for NASA, MIT, Harvard, and beyond. Today, through The Biodiversity Lab’s strategic consulting and Urban Bee Lab’s nonprofit research, Noah is expanding that mission to help communities and organizations design actionable solutions at the intersection of science, sustainability, and impact. In this talk, he will share how bees serve as living sensors of biodiversity and climate change — and the lessons he’s learned about entrepreneurship at the crossroads of business, sustainability, and science.
