About Bee regenerative

Bee Regenerative’s mission is to create a world where bees enrich our working landscapes and our lives.

We envision a future filled with the vibrant hum of biodiverse working landscapes, bursting with healthy bees, coexisting with livestock and wildlife, and where agricultural producers work in harmony with nature to provide for our communities.

We Value Conservation, Regeneration, Complexity, Resilience, and Affection.

Our staff and contractors work shoulder-to-shoulder with ranchers 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. 

Our team works on conservation, research, education, and conceptual art projects throughout the American West.  Though our roots are in beekeeping, our current work has also led us into regenerative agriculture, native bee conservation, and wildlife coexistence.

What About Bee girl?

Bee Girl, doing business as Bee Regenerative, remains a vibrant and essential part of our brand! While our founder, Sarah Red-Laird (aka the Bee Girl), is still the lead worker bee, this work has expanded out of the hive and into a field full of a number of worker bees supporting our mission and our vision. That’s why we created the co-brand, Bee Regenerative.

Sarah Red-Laird Bio

Founder & Executive Program Director

Sarah Red-Laird is the founder and Executive Program Director of the Bee Girl d/b/a Bee Regenerative, whose mission is to create a world where bees enrich our working landscapes and our lives.  Her work currently has her chasing bees from the Coast Mountains of Oregon, though the Great Basin, to Montana’s Paradise Valley, and into the Great Plains.  She is a graduate of the University of Montana's College of Forestry and Conservation and the Davidson Honors College with a degree in Resource Conservation, focused on community collaboration and environmental policy.  To see her commitment to good policy and education realized, she has formerly served as the director of the American Beekeeping Federation’s “Kids and Bees” program, as president of the Northwest Farmers Union and Western Apicultural Society, and as a board member of the National Farmers Union.  When she is not working alongside bees, beekeepers, kids, farmers, ranchers, vineyard managers, and policy makers, Sarah spends her free time as a connoisseur of books, cappuccinos, running trails, and food and wine local to wherever she finds herself.  To see her latest projects updates, visit Instagram and Facebook @sarahbeegirl or www.beegirl.org.
