Alan in San Francisco is on a mission to save the world\u2014one bee at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bees get a bad rap\u2014for some folks, a bee sting can result in a life-threatening allergic reaction\u2014but these hard-working little insects are actually responsible for pollinating a significant portion of all flowering plants worldwide. Sadly, they\u2019re disappearing from the planet and no one is quite sure why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alan had everything he needed to help the bee population: Two hives and all the other necessary bee-keeping supplies. The only thing he was missing were the bees themselves!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So he headed to Taskrabbit and found Tasker Elena’s<\/a> help. The task ended up being a little more complicated than anticipated, but Elena was happy to do the research. She even took the time to ask some bee-loving friends where she could get a small colony (called a \u201cnuc\u201d) of bees. Eventually, she found a place that sold bees, negotiated the price down, and delivered them to Alan and his hives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re stoked we got to help Alan on his mission to save the world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can we help you<\/a>?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
