About the host
Hosted by Shirley Brown and Rich Goldman

We live in the house next door and purchased The Bee House in the Spring of 2013 to fully renovate, it with a completely new floor plan that brings nature into the house.
We love supporting people in having great lives and consider this wonderful home a way for us to contribute to people living in a nurturing home away from home.
