SWEET WAYS TO HELP POLLINATORS

Sponsorship Program

BEE ROOTED sponsorships are great for individuals and as gifts!  Bees are amazing and perform a vital role in our ecology.  With our sponsorship program, your donation will directly help to support and sustain healthy bee colonies that are vital to local community pollination and the larger ecology. Donations help to purchase hives, bees, and equipment to ensure healthy honeybees.  

Crowd funding and community sponsored agriculture is a great way for companies to help raise needed capital for business development.  Essentially, we are selling shares of our hives as a form of community sponsored agriculture to help raise the funds needed to continue to raise healthy bees in Southern California and to develop local bee sanctuaries in community gardens.
Our Adopt-A-Hive program is perfect for anyone interested in beekeeping, but not able to have hives due to expenses, limited space, or time.  Each donation is for one year only and can be purchased for yourself or as a gift for family and friends!

HELP BUILD POLLINATOR SANCTUARIES

Bee Rooted has adopted the  Incredible Edible Community Garden  as our beneficiary non-profit to help pollinators. We have been partnering with various organizations to raise money for Pollinator Sanctuaries throughout SoCal. Early in 2017, the Hamilton Family Brewery helped raise $1,200 for our grant fund.  Then, in June of 2017, we held a PolliNATION Festival at the Chino Basin Water Conservation District.

​The IECG has successfully completed various community projects such as the community Memorial Groves for victims' families of the San Bernardino shootings and will be installing the Veterans Memorial Grove along miles of Route 66.

In the beginning of 2018, the IECG will begin to take applicants for pollinator sanctuaries in public areas such as community gardens, schools, city parks, and more!  The IECG will install everything necessary for these pollinator sanctuaries at no cost to the grant recipient.  In addition, we will partner with local volunteer organizations to train the recipients to care for the sanctuary.

​If you would like to support Pollinator Sanctuaries in the Inland Empire, please donate via Paypal and enter PolliNATION in the notes.

Thank you for all of your generous support!

HELP BUILD NON-TOXIC COMMUNITIES

Bee Rooted supports  Non-Toxic Communities to advocate for healthier, pesticide free communities.  Please sign our local petition for public spaces to move to organic land management and create safe places for our families to play.

The city of Irvine has been free of synthetic pesticides for over a year!  Harvard has 20 acres currently on their organic land management program and it has been successful since its inception in 2008.

Other ways to help....

  • Grow organic!  Avoid the use of toxic chemicals (including pesticides, herbicides and fungicides) in your garden. Use OMRI certified organic garden products and natural pest strategies.  These are safer for your family, are more eco-friendly, and are usually more economical.
  • Grow a pollinator garden!  Grow a pollinator garden with plants rich in nectar and pollen that bees love.
  • We are in a drought!  Bees are thirsty too!  Provide fresh water in a small bowl for bees to access, bees can’t swim, so add rocks for a landing pad.
  • Buy local!  Local honey supports small beekeepers and our local biodiversity.
  • Grow food!  Bees love fruit trees and vegetable gardens!  Lawns do not provide food for bees.  Scrap the lawn and grow food!
  • Buy organic!  Buy organic fresh produce as local as possible to support organic local farmers which continue to provide forage for bees.
  • Become a beekeeper!  Urban beekeeping is becoming more mainstream in urban and rural environments.  The more beekeepers we have, the more biodiversity and insurance against bee endangerment we have.
