Dear Hive, June is here, bringing sunshine, summer adventures, and one of the most vibrant months on the calendar: Pride Month. At 305 Hive®, we believe community is about celebrating the people, places, and experiences that make South Florida such a special place to call home. This week, we’re sharing a little bit of everything worth buzzing about, from local happenings and community connections to Bimini escapes, mango swaps, and inspiration. We’re also featuring a Pride Month article written by one of our favorite locals, so make sure you don’t miss it. Wherever the season takes you — and if you need ideas, don’t miss our Getaway Guide below — we hope you’ll find reasons to connect, explore, and celebrate all that makes our community unique. ~Samantha and Team 305 Hive® 🐝
REDEFINING EDUCATION FOR THE WORLD AHEADSomething rare is happening at Alpha Miami—kids are excited to go to school, and parents are paying attention. In our first year, enrollment grew more than 10x as families searched for something better. Now enrolling grades K–11, Alpha flips the traditional model. Students master academics in just two hours each morning—three in high school—through personalized, AI-powered learning that drives top 1–2% results nationwide. Afternoons are for life: entrepreneurship, leadership, and hands-on projects that build real-world confidence. This isn’t more school—it’s school that finally works. Join us for an upcoming info session here.

PRIDE & THE POWER OF BEING YOUThis month, we asked one of our favorite locals to share what Pride really means. Ismael Llano takes us beyond the parades and glitter to explore the heart of Pride: authenticity, community, and the courage to show up as your true self. It’s a quick, feel-good read that reminds us why this month matters for all of us. Read the full blog post HERE.
BOOK CLUB EXPERIENCE: LADY TREMAINEStep into a fresh twist on a familiar fairytale at our next 305 Hive® Book Club Experience, featuring Lady Tremaine. This bestselling novel reimagines the story of Cinderella from the so-called “wicked stepmother’s” point of view, blending royal drama, family secrets, and powerful themes of motherhood, resilience, and women rewriting their own stories. Think Bridgerton meets a classic fairytale with a modern edge. JOIN us for great conversation, wine, light bites, and a room full of book lovers, because every good story is better when shared.
HANGING WITH THE HIVE: SOCIAL HOURThe Hive gathered at The Collab restaurant inside the THesis Hotel for happy hour, delicious bites, and great conversation. We talked social media, helped businesses polish their message, and shared a little bubbly along the way. Check out our reel HERE to see the photos. See you at the next one.
A PLACE FOR EVERYONE TO THRIVEHealthy communities, whether they’re made up of people, plants, or pollinators, thrive when there’s room for everyone. This month, as we celebrate the diversity that makes our community strong, it’s also a great time to think about the small ways we can support the environment around us. Consider planting native flowers that feed bees and butterflies, cutting back on pesticides, or creating a pollinator-friendly spot in your yard, on your balcony, or in your neighborhood. These little creatures are quiet heroes; without them, much of what grows in our gardens and on our plates wouldn’t exist. Small actions, big impact. A greener, healthier Miami is one where both nature and community can flourish together.
A COLORFUL MIAMI TRADITIONThis Pride Month, we’re buzzing about one of Miami’s most colorful dining destinations. R House, owned by husband team Chef Rocco Carulli and Owen Bale, is celebrating 12 years in Wynwood. Since opening in 2014, the restaurant has become a local institution, known for its lively drag brunches, Latin-inspired cuisine, and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re a longtime fan or have yet to experience it for yourself, Pride Month is the perfect time to visit, raise a glass, and celebrate a business that has helped make Miami’s dining scene more vibrant.
If you’ve lived in Miami long enough, you know mango season isn’t just a time of year, it’s a lifestyle. The fruit falls from backyard trees, piles up on doorsteps, and overflows from produce stands. And if you’re a true local, you know a ripe mango is basically currency. Trading mangoes for goods is a tried-and-true 305 summer tradition, and this June, a handful of beloved spots are leaning all the way in. So grab a bag, raid that backyard tree, and get to trading:
Happy mango season, Miami!
