Finding Nadja's Minneapolis home on a Summer day does not require house numbers. Just drive until you find the bee food. From the sidewalk, a terraced slope riots with pink phlox, orange tiger lilies, lupine, white culver's root, and various milkweeds. Bees of every shape and size think they are in heaven. Looking closer, Nadja will point out funny little native woodland ephemerals -like bloodroot and yellow lady slipper - that she's coaxed to live in the shade of evergreen trees. There are wild strawberries, beds lined with giant sunflowers, and lots of berry bushes. Her modest house hides among the gardens. You might not even notice the two honey bee colonies the Bee Squad established in May of 2014 on her rooftop.
