Every gift goes straight to the hive.

Beekeepers are producers. They grow one of the most essential foods in our system, with no subsidy, no price floor, and no standard to stand behind. Your gift supports the people, the science, and the standards working to change that. Give once, give monthly, or partner with us on terms built around your goals.

$500K – $1.5M · Transform the Industry

Turn private investment into national impact.

Help us build a funding portfolio that transforms this pilot into something national. With $3.5M in private investment, we can grow our Bees as Biosensors study into a $5M+ program for regenerative domestic organic apiculture, leveraging federal research dollars and university partnerships at KSU, MSU, and UNL to multiply every dollar contributed. Funds support beekeeper participation and compensation, honey integrity testing, the Bees as Biosensors pilot, and a contribution toward the American Honey Institute at KSU, a first-of-its-kind national center for beekeeping education, research, and certification. This is the infrastructure the industry has never had. Your investment builds it.
