Our Mission
An inclusive environment for Yampa Valley youth to learn beekeeping and advocate for protecting all pollinators. Our focus is to provide year round enrichment programs at both our indoor and outdoor apiaries as well as classroom instruction with our traveling beehive. Our programs are accessible to all children regardless of learning, developmental, or physical disabilities. We encourage hands-on engagement and responsibility, such as students caring for their own beehives through donations and local swarm rescues. We provide an annual scholarship to empower students who desire to pursue a degree in any agricultural field of study.
