​

There are three components of our program: Beekeeping, Mindfulness, and Education 
 

Beekeeping:
 

Each veteran will be paired up with a local beekeeping mentor so that they can experience beekeeping. After a few hive tours, you may choose to buy your own hive! We have partnered with a few select beekeeping supply stores to offer discounts to veterans.
 

Mindfulness:
 

Mindfulness is a set of three attentional skills that work together: concentration, sensory clarity, and equanimity. Every time mindfulness is practiced, we build these skills.
 

Education:
 

1. Beekeeping For Veterans has partnered with Beekeeping Made Simple. They are donating their online beekeeping course to all veterans that participate in the Beekeeping For Veterans program.       

​

2. Monthly online Bee Educated!!! Meetings. Each month we will have an online meeting with guest lectures on all things bees. We will also have a live mindfulness meditation led by one of Beekeeping For Veterans’ mindfulness coaches.
