In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of Hive Tracks, a Blue Earth Ventures member on a mission to make biodiversity measurable and actionable. Host Guy Hayler sits down with founder Max, whose journey from the UN to the mountains of North Carolina led to a breakthrough: turning everyday beekeepers into a global network of nature data collectors.

Discover how Hive Tracks uses simple tech, smart AI, and the power of community to help both beekeepers and big business understand, protect, and restore ecosystems—one hive at a time. We explore the business model, real-world impacts, and the big vision: a world where measuring nature’s health is as easy as counting your steps.

Whether you’re into sustainability, agtech, or just love a good founder story, tune in to hear how Hive Tracks and Blue Earth Ventures are working together to give bees (and biodiversity) the starring role they deserve.
