In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady delves into the innovative efforts of Swarmed, a platform dedicated to rescuing and rehoming honey bee swarms. Amidst alarming reports of record hive losses, Swarmed's recent crowdfunding campaign achieved its funding goal in under 24 hours, underscoring the urgent need for effective solutions to protect these essential pollinators. The platform connects public reports of bee swarms with local beekeepers, facilitating over 2,000 successful rescues to date. This initiative not only aids in preserving bee populations but also enhances biodiversity and supports agricultural sustainability.
Swarmed's successful Kickstarter campaign will enable the development of advanced tools for beekeepers, including predictive Swarm Likelihood Maps, Real-Time Mobile Alerts, and a Bee Friendliness Map. These tools aim to improve response times and assess local pollinator ecosystem health. As swarm season approaches, Swarmed continues to offer lifetime memberships and early access to new features for backers.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
