Dear Hive,

June 1st is almost here, and that means one thing for us Miamians: hurricane season is officially open for business. While we’d love to pretend it’s just another excuse for a good storm party playlist, the reality is that a little preparation goes a long way. This week, we’re cutting through the noise and giving you everything you need to get your home, your family, and your peace of mind ready before the clouds roll in.

Because here in Miami, we don’t just weather the storm, we ride it out like the resilient, resourceful community we are.

~Samantha and Team 305 Hive® 🐝

From the cocktail reception to heartfelt awardee presentations, the evening was inspiring. And true to Girl Scout tradition, guests left with the sweetest parting gift: a box of their favorite cookies.
