Our Mission

It is our hope that the beekeepers in the Valley will over time grow into a tight and supportive community, much the way a strong colony of honeybees. A part of our mission is to educate the Community on the value of honeybees. Honeybees should not only be tolerated but they should be celebrated and cherished.
We seek opportunities to speak in public forums about the importance of honeybees. In addition, we work with local schools to involve teaching children about the importance of honeybees and their importance in our Ecosystems for Biodiversity Conservation.

To Propagate and raise locally adapted honeybees
We believe that honeybees that can adapt to the environmental conditions of the area they live in are best suited for long term success. To this end, we are working to break the cycle of importing honeybees by producing locally grown honeybees that are adapted to our area. We have found that there are many people who have always wanted to have honeybees but have felt restrained from doing so. It is our goal to assist those who would like to have honeybees but feel they are unable to do so. If you feel that you don’t have time to care for honeybees, or are afraid of them, or you don’t feel knowledgeable enough, or you are physically unable to; we would like to help you in this regard.
To provide honeybee colony set up and maintenance for those who want assistance with having honeybees
We provide an annual service that sets up and maintains single or multiple honeybee colonies.
To help others who are interested in learning beekeeping skills. There are many people who are interested in learning basic beekeeping skills. Good beekeeping requires a set of skills which are only developed through practice. We will be working through our beekeeping school to offer training for those who would like help with developing these skills.
To help educate the public about the importance and value of honeybees and Bee products. There are many health benefits to be had from local honey and propolis. If each household were able to produce just 5 or 10 pounds of honey our community would be well served. In addition, there are many life lessons that can be learned from watching the life of the bees.
