In celebration of World Bee Day, we’re doubling our bee preservation efforts from last year, committing to rescue over 10 Million bees around the United States through partnerships with independent, skilled beekeepers.
Pollinators are essential to our planet’s thriving ecosystems. Beyond powerful bee wellness products like Manuka Honey and Bee Propolis, we rely on bees for our entire way of life. Bees pollinate nearly 75% of our global food supply (source: Greenpeace). They strengthen biodiversity and help regenerate lands. The health of our planet, and our people, is dependent on the health of honey bees. With bee populations decreasing from climate change, pesticides, human development, diseases, and more, it is important that we do everything that we can to help save the bees.
Did you know that if there’s a beehive on your property, you can safely remove and relocate the bees through bee rescue instead of extermination? It’s one of the most helpful ways you can support bee populations in your community. Meet the US beekeepers who are helping us rescue and relocate over 10 Million honey bees across the country:
Hilary Kearney is the author of two books: QueenSpotting and The Little Book of Bees. Her business, Girl Next Door Honey, offers educational opportunities to hundreds of new beekeepers each year. Her work has been the subject of features in Huffington Post, Vogue, Mother Earth News, and other outlets. She teaches, rescues wild bee colonies and manages around 60 hives in her hometown of San Diego, California.
Nicholas Wigle began his career in beekeeping in 2009. He is viewed as an expert in the field being called to remove wild honeybees from attics, walls, and landscapes. Nicholas’s company, Super Bee Rescue, removes hundreds of wild hives per year. The team cares for over 400 colonies, performs 600 rescues per year, and maintains 80 bee apiaries. Their clients include local businesses, celebrities and beekeepers. His team provides beekeeping consulting in Santa Barbara County, CA. Nicholas graduated from Cal State Northridge with a degree in Business and Economics, and received his Master Beekeeping Certificate from the University of Montana.
Ang Roell is a nonbinary beekeeper who currently resides in Western Mass where they co-operate They Keep Bees, a queer-led beekeeping business in Great Falls, Massachusetts. We tend bees in Western Massachusetts, Southern Vermont and on the central coast of Florida. Currently, TKB manages 300 Comfort hives. Comfort hives are simply designed, handmade hives built to mimic the cavity of a tree, and be responsive to the needs of the bees. In a beehive, the influences of the ecosystem shapes the actions of the hive as a collective. As stewards of honeybees Ang listens to the ecology and observes the response within their hives to make decisions about the best actions to take as a beekeeper. From the TKB hives Ang harvests honey, honeycomb, beeswax, and propolis. They also produce queen bees and starter hives. Ang’s passion is raising resilient and adaptive queen bees, and teaching aspiring beekeepers how to build sustainable apiaries. When you support They Keep Bees you are supporting an apiary that is prioritizing honeybee health.

My name is Justin Scott, the owner of Sweet Stingers Honey and Apiary. We are an Oklahoma Beekeeping operation that professionally manages beehives for people that want or need bees around. We manage around 350 hives in all 6 regions of Oklahoma. Our main focus is Queens and their genetics to deal with the everyday pests and diseases without the use of treatments. I started Beekeeping with my grandfather as a kid around 30 years ago. I now teach my kids the art and joy of beekeeping along with others wanting to learn through in person or with our Lessons from the Beehive educational posts across our IG FB and YouTube channel. When I don't have my head in a hive one will probably catch me gardening, messing with plants or watching my 2 kids, Lexi and Lucas, play soccer.
Kasia is a hobbyist urban beekeeper from Los Angeles, CA. In December, 2020 she received a Christmas present from her husband– a beehive. This started an amazing journey and put her on an adventure she never expected. Caught by the infamous Covid-19 pandemic, she had plenty of time to read, listen, observe and get hands-on experience. Her passion got aroused even more when her father revealed a fact about his grandfather who kept honey bees in the garden. From that moment, Kasia was determined to learn all she could about the bees. She was a sponge and was unstoppable in her pursuit to learn everything she could.
Her interest in bees’ biology and their behavior is her main focus, but she can't deny her admiration for honey and other bee products, too. Her ultimate goal is to find a way to keep healthy bees without too many interferences, as close to nature as possible. Thanks to beekeeping, she’s overcome her apiphobia (fear of bees), and replaced that with a deep love for them.
Kasia is a foodie, a gardener, a dog lover and an art enthusiast. She loves traveling and learning about other cultures. Obsessed with native stingless bees in Brazil, Australia, Mexico or India, her dream is to visit beekeepers in those countries.
Hi, I’m Bee Man Dan, owner of We Save Bees. I am dedicated to the rescue, relocation and rehabilitation of honey bees. Why? It’s simply the right thing to do. It is not only the socially conscious choice, it is also the option that leaves the greatest positive environmental footprint where everyone wins. Our clients feel awesome knowing they didn’t have to exterminate the bees and someone ready to shower the bees with love can adopt a hive and provide the bees with a happy home.
My well-trained team and I safely and humanely remove bees from roofs, walls, chimneys, floors, branches, trees, valve boxes, and just about any silly place bees decide to make a home. The live removal is performed meticulously by hand which utilizes the bee's natural behaviors because we are able to communicate in a way the bees understand.
Kailin Kim graduated from the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo with degrees in Hawaiian Studies & Agriculture, where she took her first introduction to beekeeping course. In 2016, she co-founded the Hoʻōla Honey Bee Relocation project to rescue honey bees across Hawaiʻi Island from unwanted places like homes and schools, then relocate them to North Kohala to provide necessary pollination for local farms and gardens. As a mother, farmer, and beekeeper, she is an advocate for protecting our pollinators and hopes to contribute to Hawaiʻi and a world where our keiki (children) and nalo meli (honey bees) have a safe, clean, and healthy environment necessary to thrive.
