Our Mission
Our Mission is to educate current and future generations of the importance of bees and urban beekeeping. There are many ways to help- not everyone can keep bees, but all of us can plant bee friendly plants.
"If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only 4 years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man."
— Albert Einstein
