OUR WORK
We work hard to create The Hive Mentality within our communities. We do this through Programs and Partnerships. It is within these confines that we ensure that we can make the biggest difference in supporting ALL BEES in our urban and rural areas. Have a look around and see what we have been up to.
PROGRAMS
Our programs are built to help new beekeepers increase their beginner, intermediate and advanced skills and knowledge base to ensure that the community of beekeepers continues to grow in strength.

PARTNERSHIPS
We believe that working within the community is the best way to ensure that we are best able to build connections with people, bees, and the land. We work with local businesses and organizations to support beekeeping in urban areas.
