We recently sat down with Jay, one of our Garden Site Managers and Peer Instructor extraordinaires, to talk about his experiences with Huneebee Project and, one his most memorable ones, honey harvesting.

Since joining Huneebee Project in 2019, Gianna Strode has held positions as Junior Garden Site Manager, Peer Instructor, and Manager of Hive Sponsorships. Here she shares some of her favorite honey and beeswax-based treats and recipes that she’s discovered along the way!

For the final weeks of 2022, we'll be running a spotlight series. Allowing you to hear directly from our team on this year's accomplishments, highlights, and goals for the upcoming year. And as an invitation to join us in powering this mission-driven organization in community. Together, in 2023, we can employ more youth, plant more flowers, install more bee hives, and amplify stewardship for bees and other pollinators!

Nazir Grayson, Junior Garden Site Manager at our James Street garden and a crucial member of our product development team, shares his experience with fermentation and honey garlic and, one of New Haven’s favorite- pizza!

We sat down with Gianna Strode, Huneebee’s very first Manager of Hive Sponsorships. Gianna shares more on her journey to her current role, explains what happens when someone sponsors a honey bee hive, and lays out what makes Huneebee’s hive sponsors so important!

Behind the scenes of our fundraisers and the bee facts we post on social media, things have been happening! Sometimes it’s more gritty - conflict resolution, re-establishment of our workplace rules and boundaries, tears, and the overflow of personal crises into the office or bee yard. And always, within and between the more trying moments, there are accomplishments, personal and professional growth, and hope-igniting moments.

Hey, everyone, it’s Tim here. Since 2012, I’ve been making a yearly visit to the village of Matènwa, on the island of Lagonav, off the coast of Haiti. I began by bringing materials to the women of ArtMatenwa, a collective of artists in the village. For the past 5 or 6 years, I've also been bringing large donations of Baker Creek Seeds (generously donated by Heirloom Market in Old Wethersfield) to growers on the island. In early 2020, as a volunteer with Clowns without Borders, I had the great pleasure of performing in Matènwa and neighboring villages as well as in Port-au-Prince with my sister, Robin, who is a professional clown.

Hello Huneebee friends!

It’s Tim here, with what will be a (hopefully!) monthly update about the goings on in our apiaries and gardens. I’ll try to offer some insight into my beekeeping and gardening practices, sharing info and tips from my years of experience. The nice thing about both beekeeping and gardening is that you never stop learning; there’s always more to discover and understand. I also love the experimentation that’s essential to developing one's craft.
