Financial Stewardship

Bear Country Bees is committed to exercising good stewardship of your Adopt-A-Hive contributions. We are grateful for the trust you place in our work and our ability to make resources stretch as far as possible in our quest to help save more honey bees.

Your generous gifts help us to provide a suitable living space, medications, transportation, and more for your adopted bee colony(s). They also help us to administer this program and raise additional funds to allow us to help even more bees. All remaining funds help fund honey bee research initiatives.

Though neither our business nor Adopt-A-Hive is organized as a 501(c)(3) (i.e. charitable organization), we feel that it is critical for us to provide transparency and accountability for the funds you contribute. We encourage you to view the Financial Allocation section below to see how funds are distributed to administer the needs of this wonderful program.

At the end of the day, we want you to be able to feel proud knowing that you've supported one of the most important causes in the world: saving more honey bees. 

Additionally, we hope that if you have not yet had the chance to adopt your own beehive that you'll consider doing so today.
