"In the end we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand; and we will understand only what we are taught." —Baba Dioum, 1968

The Honeybee Discovery Center will be a leader in creating a cultural awareness of bees and the beekeepers who care for them. Interactive activities and displays will teach the importance of honeybees and native pollinators, and our world’s dependence upon them. Visitors will leave with an understanding of the responsibility we all share to conserve and support their habitat and species.

In order to build The Honeybee Discovery Center, we are relying on tax-deductible contributions from supporters like you. Philanthropy will bring the Discovery Center to life. A gift of any amount is sincerely appreciated.

The Honeybee Discovery Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and increasing agriculture education and awareness.
