About the Bee Girl Organization  

BGO (the Bee Girl Organization) is a grassroots nonprofit centered on bee habitat conservation through research, regeneration, art, & education.

We envision a future where kids frolic in pastures of flowers, buzzing with bees, alongside happy, healthy, ecological farmers and ranchers. 

Our goals is to regenerate bee, soil, and human communities through our research and art projects and our education programs.   

We are working on conservation, research, education, and conceptual art projects from the Coast Mountains of Oregon, through the Great Basin, to Montana’s Paradise Valley, and into the Great Plains.  Though our roots are in beekeeping, our current work has also led us into regenerative agriculture, native bee conservation, and wildlife coexistence.     

We work shoulder-to-shoulder with ranchers, farmers, vineyard managers and wine makers, universities, government entities, policy makers, and partner nonprofits to understand and address issues in agriculture that affect bees, and to create collaborative win-win solutions for bees and producers.
