Think Like A Bee
We are a pollinator initiative, particularly focused on bees, the workhorses of our food system. We realize that more than 70% of our food comes from bee pollination and it is critical to ensure diverse, abundant and healthy habitat for bee populations to thrive. We work to connect and collaborate with municipalities, counties, schools, local agriculture, neighborhoods, indigenous and faith communities to protect our pollinators. Our main focus is connectivity, advocacy and education.
We provide consulting and education re: the extraordinary gift of bees, healthy pollinator habitat and practices. We speak to civic organizations, neighborhood districts and public institutions.
We connect with other pollinator friendly groups such as NM Beekeepers Association, UNM Bee Club, Environment NM, etc. to enhance bee awareness and sustaining practices in the general public and at a policy level.
We advocate for a pollinator friendly/Bee City USA with Albuquerque City Council and other municipal groups.
We use media to encourage public awareness, educate and advocate for bees.
We collaborate with local community food groups to provide farming internships and skill building pipelines for jobs. These include Grow the Future, Cornelio Candelaria Organics and New Mexico Acequia Association in the South Valley, Albuquerque.
