The Bee-Lieve Education Foundation, Inc. is dedicated to fostering a sustainable environment through the promotion of beekeeping and community education about the vital role bees play in our ecosystem. Our mission encompasses the alleviation of food insecurity while extending meaningful support to veterans. We offer comprehensive beekeeping education to community members, emphasizing sustainable practices and enhancing local pollination by placing beehives in both urban and rural areas. Additionally, we contribute honey produced from these hives to local food banks and pantries, thereby addressing food insecurity and raising awareness about the importance of bees. The foundation also provides scholarships to veterans for enrollment in the Oregon State University Master Beekeeping Program, which not only supports their professional development but also fosters a sense of community and connection.
