Our mission is to assist military veterans and first responders living with PTSD or TBI through a beekeeping experiences in the local community; combining outdoor activity, education and community outreach to create an environment of support and training where veterans and first responders can develop the interest and skills necessary to participate in beekeeping as a vocation or hobby. Beekeeping can be helpful for those suffering from PTSD and/or TBI as it teaches “mindfulness” or “staying in the moment”. Beekeeping has been known to be a good vocation or hobby for disabled veterans since at least the end of World War I and was published in “Opportunity Monograph, Vocational Rehabilitation Series No. 37 Bee Keeping”, April 1919.
