Fifteen-year-old Jasmine Fraser discovered that backyard beekeeping often overlooks native Australian bees, which are superior pollinators and stingless. She champions these "unsung heroes" for crop security, encouraging people to invite them into their backyards. This easy, low-maintenance approach supports both Australia's food security and native species.

Initially perplexed by native beehives, Jasmine learned their importance for pollination, not honey. She used a TEDx platform to highlight how urban households can easily support native bees, contributing to food security and biodiversity. Learn more about TEDx at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

The left is losing support from low-skill, low-paid workers, who form 45% of Britain's labor market. The 2019 election highlighted this fracture, with Labour losing traditional strongholds while gaining in cities.

Can transforming work help reconnect the left with these communities? Jon Cruddas and Molly Kinder will explore making work fulfilling, respected, and well-rewarded. Interventions like national colleges for skilled work and worker councils could restore dignity and rebalance employer-employee relationships.
