Bee Regenerative
Bee Regenerative’s mission is to inspire and advance bee conservation on agricultural landscapes.
We Value Conservation, Regeneration, Complexity, Resilience, and Affection.
Spotlight: We Did It Together – Thank You for Keeping Our Bees Abuzz!
We are overflowing with gratitude! Thanks to 76 generous donors, we not only reached our $15,000 goal for our 2025 Giving Season Campaign – we exceeded it, raising an incredible $16,758 (including a $5K match from Savannah Bee Co.)!
This outpouring of support means the world to us and, more importantly, to the bees and agricultural landscapes we work to protect. With your help, we can now:
Expand our "Bison and Bee Habitat" project
Grow our "Coexistence in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem" project with additional study areas, even more ag community engagement, and youth education programming
Build capacity for our "Bee Friendly Vineyards" project in Southern Oregon and Northern California
Continue our critical fieldwork, bee monitoring, and data collection (which inspires my Bee Habitat in Cyanotype art project)
Ensure the van (mobile bee lab and staff housing) is ready for another field season
Launch our "Beetreats for Women in Agriculture" experiential offering in Ashland, Oregon - save the date for May 9th, 2026, more information and application coming soon.
Every dollar you contributed will directly support boots-on-the-ground conservation work, education programs, and partnerships with farmers and ranchers across the West. You're helping us create agricultural landscapes that truly hum with biodiversity, abundance, and resilience.
Thank you for believing in our mission and for standing with the bees. Together, we're making a real difference – one flower, one ranch, one vineyard, and one bee at a time.
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.
As this year comes to a close, I've been thinking about the moments that made all the miles, the early mornings, and the specimen processing worth it. Here are my top 10 (though I could easily come up with about 1,000 more) in no particular order
