Our mission

The bees live as they naturally would and their benefits reach more people. Our goal is to raise San Diego’s bee population throughout the city and at the same time spread awareness among the community.

Our hope is that these backyard hives will facilitate a dialogue among neighbours, friends, family and the community at large about the huge importance of bees.

“The first step to becoming a successful beekeeper is to learn as much as you can about the bees themselves. Beehives require management and good stewardship, which take time.”
