Education Initiatives

Our Pledge Is…

“Amplifying the significance of bees to our food cycle continues to be center plate for our Viva Abejas program. We’re aiming to educate 60,000 students annually, and deploying our own teams to work hand-in-hand with Title 1 schools around the country. We have designed an in-classroom lesson plan with educators and curriculum experts at Slow Foods USA to best tailor this message to the earliest of learners.

To help with cultural inclusivity, the children’s book I published last year, Viva Abejas, is now also bilingual and available in Spanish as both a hardcover and paperback on Amazon.

1 in 3 Bites of Food…

depends on pollinators, and our declining bee population requires a global effort ,that hopefully can help move the needle with the next generation. All proceeds from this book go to the World Bee Project, whose work on the world’s first Global Bee Health program is one we whole heartedly support.”
