Mission Statement

The Honeybee Project is a children’s educational project designed to raise awareness and engage children in the world they live in. Our goals are to educate and demystify the honeybee for children while helping them form a connection to nature.

"Few people are aware of the vast importance of the honeybee to our everyday lives.

While most think of honey, it is estimated that thirty-three percent of everything that reaches the American table owes a debt to the honeybee."

Project Summary

The Honeybee Project is a crossroads of education, science, the arts and technology all in service to children. The sustainability of the world we live in will be determined by what we do now with the young people growing up. If children can understand the importance of the bees and how bees work together, this understanding can potentially deepen their connection and relationship with their community and the world around them.

Through short films, interactive games and children teaching children using simple technology, the Honeybee Project is working to create an interactive website portal that teachers and students can access around the world.

How we will do this

Travel around the world documenting children and their experiences with honeybees.
Produce a series of educational short films.
Develop an interactive video game children design while playing.
