It takes a hive to make the honey and a village to raise a child…

After years upon years collecting stories and methodologies, knowledge and ideas, BZ decided to harvest her many resources and would now love to share them with you!

You can now find helpful songs, stories, links, videos, and more under the new Collecting Nectar section of our website!

If you are a parent, teacher, daycare provider, or have hopes of becoming a professional storyteller; please use these ideas and resources for your own audience!

It takes a whole hive to make that yummy honey and it takes a village to raise a child; BZ hopes that this will nurture the precious hive of a new generation of storytellers and artists!

Until next time, keep buzzing and pollinating!

Since I started this work in my mid twenties, I have always known this job of storytelling wasn’t about me as a person. The ‘work’ is about the stories and how we share them with children, families, and communities. It has always been my goal to provide the stories as a gift so that YOU can pick them up and take them forward well past my time on this planet.
I am just the shoulders that YOU are standing on.
Now, YOU jump!
— BZ Smith.
