Guardian of the Hive: How Xavier Tan Is Saving Bees, Shaping Minds & Inspiring Urban Conservation

In this fascinating and eco-conscious episode of The Amazing Authorities Podcast, host Mitch Carson speaks with Xavier Tan, author of Guardian of the Hive: The Whisper of the Bee, known as “The Bee Man of Singapore.” Xavier shares how his 12+ year journey in urban beekeeping is shifting public perception, conserving native bees, and inspiring a new wave of environmental stewardship in one of the world’s most densely populated cities.

He dives into the challenges of educating a fearful public, working with national organizations like Temasek, and how publishing his book amplified his message. Xavier also shares how his growing influence is turning into a movement—creating beehives on rooftops, engaging with government, and inspiring Singaporeans to embrace bees, not exterminate them.

🔑 You’ll learn:

• Why bees are essential (and misunderstood) urban allies

• How Xavier transitioned from corporate life to conservation

• The power of authorship to unlock partnerships, awareness & global opportunities

• How to remove bees humanely without harming them or the ecosystem

• His vision for a future where bees and humans coexist—through knowledge, respect, and balance

  
  

If you care about sustainability, conservation, or building purpose-driven authority, this episode will show you how one man and a message can change a city—and maybe the world.
