This 2024 season we are grateful to be funded by three notable foundations whose grants help us purchase the honey bees, equipment, supplies and graduation gifts given to our Veterans and First Responders. Without the generosity of these local foundations, we would not be able to provide the experiences that can help with “staying in the moment”, and opportunities to learn the art of beekeeping. On behalf of those who come out for just a day, to those that wrangle bees for a year – Thank you so much for keeping the buzz going!!

• Help Save the Bees Foundation

• NV Energy Foundation

• Robert Z Hawkins Foundation

2023 is proving to be our best year yet! 10 new honey bee nucleus colonies will be funded by a generous grant from NV Energy Foundation. These colonies will be provided to our 10 new Participants to learn beekeeping for the 2023 season. We are so grateful for the Foundation’s bee-lief in us!

On March 15^th we were invited to the 2023 Veterans and Military Day at the Legislature (VAMDAL) to receive our award for Veteran Supporter of the Month (January 2023). These last years have been an amazing journey of new relationships and teaching beekeeping to our local veteran and first responder community. We share our successes with you, as they are truly for you. Thank you so much for joining us in the apiary and enjoying the BuZz. Bravo Zulu!

Bees4Vets is accepting students for the 2020 beekeeping season. If you are a veteran or first repsonder with PTSD or TBI and want to try something different that can help, give our web site a look. If you know a veteran or first responder with PTSD or TBI, give our site a look and have them give it a look. (There is no cost to our students for the program.)

We are happy to answer your questions. Just drop us an email, contact us on FB, or use the contact form on the website.

We have 10 spaces available in the program and those are filled on a first come, first serve basis.
