The Honey Project

The Honey Project originally began as an educational effort to showcase modern farming and broaden community and cultural perspectives for our fellow students – but quickly became much more. We discovered an untapped opportunity to partner with AgroVision, a local blueberry farm that relied on bees for pollination. This inspired us to invest in our own bee boxes that would support the farm's needs, with proceeds from honey sales going toward supporting local schools and educational initiatives.

We work to provide support both abroad and at home, with additional efforts to re-build the ecological and educational stability following the tragic 2025 Los Angeles wildfires. We are proud to participate in re-wilding initiatives, which aim to restore equatorial biomes lost to agricultural expansion and natural disasters, while helping replenish bee populations, vital for sustaining life on our planet.
