The Heart of the West: Beetreat
Building connections + knowledge around the importance of bees
with Sarah Red-Laird
July 17 - 20, 2026
Join us for an immersive four-day retreat in the pristine landscape of the Centennial Valley, Montana, where art, science, and conservation converge. The Heart of the West Beetreat offers a unique opportunity to deepen your connection to pollinators, land, and community through hands-on learning, creative expression, and meaningful conversation.
Set at the beautiful J-L Ranch in the Centennial Valley, this retreat brings together women from diverse backgrounds to explore the critical role of native bees and honey bees in our ecosystems. Through guided pollinator habitat walks, hands-on beekeeping experiences, yoga and mindfulness practices, nature journaling, and a cyanotype art workshop, you will gain both knowledge and creative tools to carry this work forward in your own communities.
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.
