Our Partners


The Honey Bee Initiative improves honey bee sustainability by providing innovative educational opportunities, conducting collaborative research, and establishing community partnerships in Northern Virginia and beyond. Support from our partners allows us to expand our applied teaching, research, and outreach programs to improve bee health, food security, and public bee education.

We’d like to keep growing our impact and need your support. We need help:
  • Educating students and the community about the interdependence of pollinators and human food sources, and modeling best practices in the management of honey bee hives.
  • Advancing global sustainability initiatives and economic alternatives for underserved regions.
  • Collaborating with public and private groups on improving the Northern Virginia ecosystem and establishing a sustainable business model.

If you think you might want to join our great team of partners, please let us know. Give us a buzz at ciemason@gmu.edu.
