OUR BEESPONSIBLE MISSION
Beesponsible means making a promise to bees & the environment.
It’s about taking responsible actions that respect these vital pollinators and keep them a thriving part of our world.
WE CAN THANK BEES FOR NEARLY ONE IN THREE BITES OF FOOD.
But these pollinators face serious threats. Our collective efforts to Beesponsible can make real change to keep bee populations healthy and around for future generations — creating a better world for bees and humans.
We’re everyday people for bees
We are friends of nature, agents of change and believers of actions that contribute to the greater good — for pollinators, people and the environment that connects us all. We are beekeepers, animal-lovers and gardeners. We’re community-minded neighbors, parents and kids. Together, we advocate for pollinator-friendly practices among individuals, neighborhoods and elected leaders. We procure quality honey from responsible beekeepers, work to preserve habitats and help bees of all kinds thrive.
Giving back
to bees
From the resources provided on our website and social channels, to the flowers planted in our own back yards, the Beesponsible team is dedicated to inspiring widespread change – and practicing what we preach.
Backed by folks who love bees, not the status quo
Supported by Barkman Honey, a family-owned company in the Midwest with beekeeping roots dating back to 1928, we couldn’t be better positioned to take on the higher calling of Beesponsible. Throughout its history, Barkman Honey has led positive changes in the beekeeping and honey industries.
Today, the company maintains its unwavering focus on challenging the status quo in the industries it helped build and holds dear. Beesponsible reflects that passion, and it powers our mission to promote responsible actions that will help keep bees around for the long haul.
