Planet Bee Foundation
OUR MISSION Planet Bee Foundation is on a mission to change the world -- one bee and one student at a time! We are dedicated to creating a green-minded generation by inspiring environmental stewardship through the power of individual action and the teaching lens of the struggling bee. We teach STEM lessons virually and in-person in schools and corporation with schools to build long lasting care of the bees and the environment. OUR VISION Planet Bee Foundation is dedicated to creating environmental stewards of all ages, who will go on to have a positive impact on our interconnected world. We understand that ethics and values are formed early in life, and therefore promote holistic approaches to education which include understanding the complexities of the natural world and the effect humans have on the Earth. We dream of an eco literate society with a higher concern for the greater good. When empathy and emotional intelligence are fostered and connections are drawn, it is more likely that positive actions will be taken. We hope our fellow educators around the world will work with us to create a more sustainable future. We envision a world in which all people feel empowered to take action for their planet, regardless of, race, gender, class or location. Through our work, students of all ages will develop a love for our planet and learn the importance of individual action in global movements, and will become more equipped to tackle environmental problems in the future.
