You Can Make A Difference

The bees are experiencing a run of bad luck. Between pesticides, fungus, mite infestations, natural disasters, and global warming they can't catch a break. 

Did you know that honey bees are the most important pollinators for flowers, fruits and vegetables? This means that without them many of the food sources you enjoy each day would be gone. According to the NRDC In some regions, up to 90% of bees have disappeared! 

The good news is you can help by spreading awareness about the importance of pollinators. Join us on this crazy adventure, and help us save the bees.

How Flowers Listen to Bees and Sweeten the Deal

How Flowers Listen to Bees and Sweeten the Deal

Did you know your backyard flowers might be better listeners than most people you know? In a wild twist of science, researchers have discovered that plants like snapdragons can actually hear bees buzzing—and when they do, they serve up sweeter nectar. It's nature’s version of bottle service, designed to keep the best pollinators coming back for more. In this post, we explore how flowers are secretly vibing to insect frequencies and what it means for the future of farming, pollination, and the very way we understand plant intelligence.

Why Native Bees Matter: Celebrating World Bee Day

On May 20th, we celebrate World Bee Day—but this is more than a moment to applaud honey on toast. From deserts to mountain peaks, 4,000 native bee species are shaping life on Earth. In this ode to pollinators, we explore how bees are vegetarian wasps, why they defy insect stereotypes, and how planting flowers could ripple through ecosystems in ways both measurable and magnificent.

Are Honeybees Pushing Wild Bees Out? A Shocking Island Experiment

Are Honeybees Pushing Wild Bees Out? A Shocking Island Experiment

 A recent experiment on an Italian island has exposed an unsettling reality—honeybee hives may be reducing wild bee populations by monopolizing floral resources. When researchers temporarily grounded honeybees, wild bees flourished, highlighting the unintended ecological impact of managed hives.

Why Are Bees So Important?

Our Mission

Researchers have discovered that in Puerto Rico, the gentle Honey Bee and African Killer Bee have become friends. So much so, that there's a new bee in town, called the Africanized Honey Bee. This unique bee boasts an impressive ability to pollinate and produce honey, a calm and collected demeanor, and the ability to resist many of the pests that have plagued the Honey Bees as of lately. Could this be the key to the survival of the bee species? We think so!

Unfortunately, Hurricane Maria wiped out not only the bees, but also the plants and flowers that they fed from. It's been a slow process in rebuilding the populations, but things are heading in the right direction. With your help, we planted pollinator gardens that the bees collected pollen from, created new bee hives across the island, educated the youth and locals on the importance of this particular type of bee, and most importantly helped revive bee colony numbers.

"Domesticated African honeybees are the holy grail, the possible solution to saving the worlds bees."

- Harvard School of Public Health 

“If the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live.”

- Maurice Maeterlinck, The Life of the Bee

"The simple fact is, if bees didn't exist, neither would humans."

- Marla Spivak, Renowned Entomologist 

Karma Honey Project

What started with a simple interest in honey, quickly blossomed into a life changing adventure. As I learned more about the decline of the bee population, and the importance of the bee species living in my backyard, I knew that it would become a mission to save the world, one bee at a time.
