Beekeeper’s secrets turn into essential leadership lessons

May 20 wasn’t just any Saturday for Naples resident and leadership consultant Michael Frino and his leadership development co-author Katie Desiderio.

For one, that day the pair found out their new book, “The Beekeeper: Pollinating Your Organization for Transformative Growth,” published May 2 by Wiley, had become a Wall Street Journal best seller. And, fittingly, May 20 is United Nations World Bee Day, created in 2018 to “raise awareness of the importance of pollinators, the threats they face and their contribution to sustainable development.”
