The Bee Conservancy Information

The Bee Conservancy, formerly The Honeybee Conservancy, is an environmental nonprofit dedicated to protecting bees, safeguarding the environment, and securing food justice through education, research, habitat creation, and advocacy. We are a project of Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs, and strive towards a day when all bee populations thrive in protected habitats, and are supported by an engaged global network. Bees lie at the heart of the world’s survival. They pollinate 1 in 3 bites of food we eat and are essential to the health and prosperity of countless ecosystems. For this reason, scientists consider them a keystone species. However, bees are in peril. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, more than half of North America’s 4,000 native bee species alone are in decline, with 1 in 4 species at risk of extinction. The Honeybee Conservancy works with top brands and organizations to create innovative programming and strategic partnerships that advance shared goals for a sustainable future. Our flagship Sponsor-a-Hive program places native bee and honeybee homes in underserved communities across the U.S. and Canada to help nurture local ecology, bolster food production in gardens and farms, and build communities.
