insights from Jamie, a BKIR grad, beekeeping apprentice, and, most recently, community beekeeper at Huneebee’s garden in Fair Haven.

BKIR (Beekeepers in Residence) is Huneebee’s signature therapeutic and workforce development program for teens and young adults who are systems impacted. participants learn the art and science of beekeeping while developing meaningful connections, mindfulness strategies, leadership, resilience, and transferable job skills - facilitating healing and preparing them for future successes far beyond the hive.

because of you, we’ve raised over $17,500 across nearly 90 donors - and there’s still time to give!!! giving ends tonight at 8pm EST. can we make it to $20,000 across 100+ donors!?!

thanks to all of you for bee-ing a voice, an instigator of ongoing change, and a champion for Huneebee youth past and present! 🔥🐝

it’s here, huneebees! the superbowl of giving for 🎉🎉🎉

giving begins today at 8 AM EST and ends tomorrow, May 7th at 8 PM EST. you can support by making a gift through the link in our profile!

we get a payout from for EVERY DONATION greater than $5 AND it’s being matched 1:1 by our Double the Impact Fund. that’s a greeting card, a small iced coffee, half a sandwich, a gallon of gas… okay, maybe more depressing than uplifting, but the point is - a mere $5 can go a long way here!!!

please also visit thegreatgive.org to learn more and to make a donation to any of the amazing and inspiring participating nonprofit organizations. we couldn’t adequately support our Huneebee youth, bring dozens of pollinator flower beds to urban spaces, or tend to our honey bee hives without our partners-in-care like , , , , - and so many more.

sending bee buzzes, smoke blessings, and deep gratitude to all of you. 💛🐝

we’re counting down the days to May 6-7 and The Great Give!

this Great Give, Huneebee Project is focusing on what matters most: showing up for the young people who have already trusted us with their growth. this summer, we’ll be re-launching monthly alumni dinners and weekly office hours. these consistent third spaces offer connection, job readiness support, and access to critical resources like therapy, housing, and food security. at the same time, we are working toward launching our next therapeutic and trauma-informed Beekeepers in Residence (BKIR) cohort. with the right support, we hope to welcome new participants as early as July 2026.

huneebees, mark your calendars and help us hit our goal of $15,000 and 100 donors for shared impact!

visit the link in our bio to learn more about The Great Give, as well as how to fundraiser alongside our team 🐝

*thanks to a group of individual donors, Huneebee’s Board of Directors, and the , the first $5,000 will be matched 1:1*

research is catching up to what we’ve witnessed for years: working with bees can ease anxiety, reduce stress, and support overall well-being. from veterans to college student - and especially the teens and young adults in our program - these little bee bodies offer something transformative.

as we continue to understand and build upon this emerging research, our team, too, is diving into years of rich data we’ve been gathering.

our goal: to better understand the impact of beekeeping on youth mental health - and how our model supports alumni in breaking cycles of intergenerational poverty and trauma. more soon! 🐝
