Land For Bees

What is Land For Bees?

Land For Bees is a conservation initiative focused on restoring and preserving vital pollinator habitats. We own and manage 233 acres of land in Minnesota and Texas, which we maintain as pollinator refuges. Our goal is to provide safe, sustainable spaces for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators to thrive by replanting native vegetation and implementing conservation easements.

What is the mission of Land For Bees?

Our mission is to restore and protect pollinator habitats by creating sustainable, native ecosystems. Through thoughtful land management, we focus on planting native trees, wildflowers, and shrubs that provide critical food and shelter for pollinators. Our efforts also include raising awareness about the importance of pollinators and encouraging other landowners to set aside their land for conservation purposes.

How does Land For Bees help pollinators?

We help pollinators by rewilding and conserving 233 acres of land to serve as dedicated pollinator habitats. This involves planting native plants, trees, and wildflowers that provide pollinators with the food sources they need to survive. We also manage these lands by maintaining them through annual mowing and weed control, ensuring they remain suitable for pollinators year-round. Additionally, we protect these lands with conservation easements, which prevent them from being developed or altered in a way that could harm the habitats.

How does Land For Bees support its conservation efforts?

We support our conservation efforts through donations, product sales, and land stewardship. By purchasing products such as our Raw Honey Subscription or subscribing to our Land For Bees program, you directly contribute to our mission. Funds raised are used to cover the costs of replanting native vegetation, maintaining the land, and ensuring its long-term preservation. Additionally, we work to educate the public about pollinator protection and encourage other landowners to set aside their land for conservation.

How can I support Land For Bees' mission?

There are several ways you can get involved with our efforts to restore pollinator habitats. One way is by supporting us through product purchases, which directly fund our conservation activities. You can also make a one-time donation or become a regular subscriber to our Land For Bees program to ensure the ongoing maintenance and preservation of pollinator-friendly spaces. Another great way to help is by spreading the word about our mission and encouraging others to plant native flowers, trees, and shrubs to support pollinators in their own yards and communities.

How does Land For Bees ensure the long-term success of its conservation efforts?

To ensure the long-term success of our efforts, we focus on sustainability in all aspects of our work. This includes securing funding through donations and product sales, establishing perpetual conservation easements, and planning for the ongoing maintenance and management of the land. We also continuously monitor the health of the land and pollinator populations to make any necessary adjustments to our approach. Our goal is to create self-sustaining pollinator refuges that will remain protected for generations to come.
