Bee Regenerative
Bee Regenerative’s mission is to create a world where bees enrich our working landscapes and our lives.
We envision a future filled with the vibrant hum of biodiverse working landscapes, bursting with healthy bees, coexisting with livestock and wildlife, and where agricultural producers work in harmony with nature to provide for our communities.
We Value Conservation, Regeneration, Complexity, Resilience, and Affection.
Program Spotlight: Bee Friendly Vineyards
Bees have an important and undervalued role outside of cash crop pollination services. They are also essential in building soil health, though ensuring reproduction of plants that fix nitrogen naturally and support healthy mycorrhiza communities, essential in grapevine production. Bees are an indicator species of a healthy vineyard and an in-tact environment. Ecologically speaking, they are an indication of the loop of environmental function coming back together.
Our team is working on conservation, research, education, and conceptual art projects throughout the American West. Though our roots are in beekeeping, our current work has also led us into regenerative agriculture, native bee conservation, and wildlife coexistence.
Catch us sharing and celebrating our projects at a community educational event or art exhibit near you.

Bee Regenerative is a “Bee Girl” co-brand, while our founder, Sarah Red-Laird (aka Bee Girl), is still the lead worker bee this work has expanded out of the hive and into a field full of a number of worker bees supporting our mission and our vision. Our staff and contractors work shoulder-to-shoulder with ranchers and wine makers, universities, government entities, policy makers, and partner nonprofits to understand and address issues in agriculture that affect bees, and to create collaborative win-win solutions for bees and producers.

Back to my roots! Though I've "retired" from my position of directing the American Beekeeping Federation's "Kids and Bees" program - I'll never not be involved with kids' education.
