We are mindful of giving back and helping our community while creating human connections transcending societal barriers. We have worked with Community First! Village, and have been hired by the Congolese government to design and lead (on-site) their country-wide beekeeping training program for at-risk youth and rural communities, so that they can make a dignified income and gain food security. We are also mirroring our efforts there in Texas, by donating hives and bees to local communities of Women and Youth refugees from the Congo, and donating our time and expertise to develop training programs for them in Houston and Austin. We also volunteer for WINROCK and have taught top-bar beekeeping to South Cameroon refugee women in IKOM, Nigeria.
Finally, through the youth scholarships and school hive programs we have created, we teach young generations mindfulness by showing them the ways of the bees, and how to respect our world and all who live in it.
​
We invite you to join us in person or in spirit in this mindful journey to create a kinder, better, more connected world, because we can use all the help we can get,
and like we always say:
TOGETHER, WE RISE!
