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! 🔥🐝

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! 🐝

in September of 2018, we graduated the very first cohort of Beekeepers in Residence, not knowing if bees could win over a teen audience.

they did.

and in the 8 years since, they’ve won over a few more. we’ve shared our gardens with 111 youth trainees and adult mentors and with over 3,000 local residents - ages 2 through 97.

it’s been the greatest privilege to taste tomatoes and watermelon straight from the garden beds, cut and arrange dahlias and snapdragons for unsuspecting neighbors, watch your faces as you tasted the bees’ honey for the first time, and experience the authenticity of connection and relationship in nature.

and we can’t wait to do it all again soon.

but, for now, Huneebee is going into a sort of cluster. like the bees.

it’s time for us look back on these successes, and the challenges, of the past eight years, to analyze years of data demonstrating how beekeeping and social enterprise can strengthen youth mental health and employment prospects, and to plan for a future that is being shaped by uncertainty and resilience, and one that is begging us to be more intentional than ever before.

we won’t bee going far, and will work diligently to buzz back around and share as we learn more about the layers of our impact, how it can be built upon, and what is next on our horizon. 💛

bee-cause of you… in 2025,

🐝 13 teens and young adults graduated from Huneebee Project’s BKIR therapeutic job-skills training program, bringing the total Huneebee Project graduate count to 64
🐝 huneebee beekeepers led pollinator workshops on bee biology and pollinator-friendly practices for more than 750 local residents, bringing our total number of children and adults touched by Huneebee’s community programming to over 3,000 individuals
🐝 our team maintained 30 honey bee hives across garden sites in New Haven, Bridgeport, and Hamden and harvested over 600 pounds of honey

most importantly, we witnessed a future generation of change-makers conquer fears, develop a sense of purpose in collective pollinator stewardship, take risks, discover new talents and fascinations, build meaningful friendships with peers and mentors, create resumes they felt proud of, and plan for their next steps in securing long-term and sustainable employment

from all of us at Huneebee Project, thank you for being an integral part of our community and for believing in the power of small, intentional actions to create lasting impact!

so much potential in one little jar. it supports programs that foster well-being, belonging, and resilience. it honors bees doing what they’ve always done - pollinating plants, sustaining ecosystems, and inciting curiosity and hope in life.

this honey helps us care for pollinators *and* people - because a healthy, promising future depends on both.

it also can make your holiday table a little warmer, a little sweeter, and a little tastier!

❗️to guarantee delivery (or pick up!) before we close for the holidays, place your order by the end of the day Thursday 12/19 ❗️
