Educational and Therapeutic Beekeeping training for First Responders and Veterans
ABOUT Mission Beelieve
Mission Beelieve is dedicated to providing sustainable beekeeping education to Veterans and First Responders. Through our comprehensive Beekeeping Beginners Course, mentorship programs, hands-on workshops, and monthly seminars, we empower participants to develop a new skill while fostering a deeper connection with nature and their local communities. By embracing the therapeutic and vocational benefits of beekeeping, participants transform negative energy into purposeful and rewarding endeavors. In addition to supporting Veterans and First Responders, Mission Beelieve engages in local outreach to raise awareness about pollinators and promote the restoration of vital habitats.
We created the foundation with hands-on workshops and seminars, to help veterans/first responders begin to feel some peace, learn a new trade and connect with nature and community while embracing the therapeutic and vocational aspects of beekeeping.
