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.
Community Event Spotlight: Farm to Crag
Bozeman Farm to Crag Day with Chance Farm: a seat at the table to transform our food system—together. Let’s move, nourish, and learn as we support our farmers and build the community we want to be part of.
Join us for an unforgettable day that begins with either rock climbing or a group gravel bike ride. All levels are welcome for time together enjoying the stunning crags and country roads that the Gallatin Valley has to offer. After an inspiring day outside, we’ll meet at Chance Farm—a first-generation farm, specializing in high-quality vegetables and soil health, with a passion for building communities in the Gallatin Valley and beyond.
We will have an afternoon farm tour and volunteer veggie harvest, moments of self-care, snacks, and demonstrations; including a honey tasting and native bee demonstration. We’ll end the day with a gourmet farm-to-table dinner crafted by award-winning chef Charley Graham, live music (Jack and Kia are joining us again) and an interactive food system workshop and panel discussion.
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.
If you’ve read Robin Wall Kimmerer’s books this is a familiar word/phrase. Simply put, it’s giving a gift for a gift. But if you truly want to embody the concept, it’s not simple; it extends beyond politeness and good manners to a deep sense of responsibility for your community, based on unbounded mutual exchange.
