The Story

Bee & Bloom was founded by three bee-loving friends (an entomologist, beekeeper and pollination ecologist) in 2017. We are educators and pollinator advocates in Portland, OR, empowering our community to support the environment and all of the pollinating critters within it!

The Mission

Pollinators are facing a wide range of challenges today (climate change, habitat loss and rampant pesticide use to name a few). Most of us are familiar with the honeybee's struggle, but the other ~4,400 native bee species in North America are in trouble, too. We strive to increase community awareness and support for all of our pollinators!

We also aim to help urban beekeepers (and their bees) succeed by blending the latest scientific research with an experienced hand.
