🐝 This , help us create the next generation of beekeepers!

At Save The Bees NC, we believe the future of honey bees depends on growing a community of people who understand and care for them. Through hands-on beekeeping education, we're teaching kids and adults alike how to keep bees, create pollinator habitat, and become advocates for these incredible creatures.

Every dollar you give helps us:
🍯 Provide beekeeping mentorship and training
🌻 Educate young people about the vital role bees play in our food supply
🐝 Build a network of informed beekeepers across North Carolina

Bees face serious threats—from varroa mites and pesticides to shrinking habitat. But when we put more beekeepers in the field, we're putting more advocates for bees in our communities.

Your tax-deductible donation today helps us grow more beekeepers, protect more bees, and inspire a lifelong love of pollinators.

🍯🐝 September is National Honey Month! 🐝🍯

All month long Save The Bees NC is celebrating the incredible gift of honey and the hardworking bees that make it possible. 🌼 Without our pollinators, we wouldn’t just miss out on honey—we’d lose so many of the fruits, vegetables, and flowers we enjoy every day.

This September, let’s sweeten the cause together:
✨ Support local beekeepers
✨ Plant pollinator-friendly flowers
✨ Reduce pesticide use in your gardens
✨ Spread awareness about protecting our bees

Every small action makes a big difference in keeping our hives healthy and thriving. 💛

👉 Join us in honoring the bees this month by sharing your love for honey and your commitment to pollinator protection! Use and tag us so we can see how you’re celebrating.

🐝 Together, we can create a buzz that lasts beyond September!

A Heartfelt Thank You to the Garner Woman's Club & Our Community!

Saturday's "Bee informed @ the Garner women's club” event at the Garner Woman's Club was an incredible success — and it wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing support, curiosity, and generosity of everyone who attended.

We had a great time sampling and tasting honeys! The thoughtful questions from the audience showed just how passionate our community is about learning and making a difference. The energy in the room was inspiring!

Congratulations to the winners of the great prizes that were raffled off! We are especially grateful for the donations and support offered toward protecting our pollinators. Every dollar, every conversation, and every commitment to starting honey bee and native bee hives and planting pollinator-friendly gardens helps us move one step closer to a healthier environment.

Thank you for helping us raise awareness, build momentum, and create real change. The bees — and our entire ecosystem — thank you too.

Let’s keep buzzing forward, together. 🐝💛
