The Bee Cause Project

🐝 Did you know that pollinators are responsible for helping produce many of the foods we eat and supporting healthy ecosystems around the world?

June 22 - 28 is Pollinator Week! One easy way to celebrate is to invite someone else to join you. Share this post, tell your friends to follow The Bee Cause Project.

After all, protecting pollinators starts with awareness, which grows when we spread the word. Who will you invite to celebrate Pollinator Week with you?

🐝🍯 FROM THE HIVE
Bi-weekly Bee Grant recipient update:

What happens when STEM learning gets a little buzz? Students at CODE Academy are finding out firsthand.

Combee Academy of Design & Engineering welcomed a honey bee colony into its newly installed observation hive and recently celebrated their annual Honey Bee Jubilee. Through up-close observations and interactive learning opportunities, students explored the vital role bees play in pollination, ecosystems, and our food supply.

When we equip educators with resources to connect STEM concepts with a living bee colony, young learners become curious investigators, problem-solvers, and environmental stewards.

Follow along as we continue to spotlight our Bee Grant recipients every other week.

🐝 Mark your calendars: June 22–28 is Pollinator Week!

We're preparing for a week-long celebration dedicated to the pollinators that help sustain our ecosystems, support biodiversity, and contribute to the foods we enjoy every day.

Throughout the month, we'll be sharing fun and practical ways to get involved and make a difference for pollinators in your own community.

Today, we suggest you:
📖 choose a book about butterflies and share it with a young readers
🌱 plant parsley to host butterfly larvae

🐝 Belonging matters.

Just as biodiversity strengthens ecosystems, diversity in perspectives strengthen our communities. Beyond the beehive, creating and protecting spaces where everyone feels valued helps people grow, learn, and contribute their unique gifts to the world.

This month, we celebrate the importance of belonging and the freedom to bee yourself.

Happy Pride Month! 🌈

🐝 Nature’s hardest workers don’t really get weekends off. From the moment honey bees emerge, they immediately begin working to support the hive. However, pollinator education requires us to slow down long enough to notice their work.

This weekend, spend a little time observing the pollinators around you. Notice how many you can find, the variety that appear, and which plants seem to attract them most.

The more we observe the natural world, the more connected we become to protecting it.

🐝 Help us create a more bee-friendly future.

🐝🍯 FROM THE HIVE
Bi-weekly Bee Grant recipient update:

Felton Grove High School's FFA recently celebrated a major milestone as the first school in their district to welcome live bee hives to campus.

With support from our partnership with Whole Foods Market Foundation, Bee Grant funding helped provide the FGHS Agriculture Department with essential beekeeping equipment, including hives, protective gear, and of course, bees.

Two thriving nucleus colonies, each containing five frames of bees and a queen, were recently installed into the school’s hives, giving students hands-on opportunities to explore pollinator science, agriculture, and environmental stewardship in real time.

What makes student access to live hives even more special is the collaboration happening across campus. Students are not only learning about bees, but also contributing directly to the success of the hives through agricultural and technical skills that connect classroom learning to the natural world.
