We all share life on this earth, we all feed from its flowers and fruits and we all depend on the creatures that make this abundance possible. This is the common ground we all share. Join us and help us preserve it!

Bees for Peace has two related aims:

• protect the bees and other creatures that pollinate our flowers and bring nourishment to our bodies;
• promote peace by connecting communities -- faith communities, cultural centers, schools, community gardens and more -- with each other, to strengthen society, build resilience and unite our voices and actions for planetary wellness for all beings.
• exciting people about bees through sharing our collective stories about these creatures from religious and cultural traditions around the world. 

How do we carry out these aims?

Meet Our Native Bee Friends!

Native bees are some of the most important players in our ecosystems. Here, you can see some of our native bee friends. These bees are vital in the pollination of our plants, the very plants that bring food to our table.  See "Our Bee Community" under "Who We Are" to learn more about them.

Bees are not only essential to healthy ecosystems, they are transmitters of our cultures' most treasured values

Bees in all their diversity – over 20,000 known species – existed long before humans did and created the blooming paradise into which we are born. Not just the honeybees but the more plentiful non-honey-producing bees have provided the world with its abundance of fruits, vegetables and flowers, while simultaneously capturing our imagination, figuring into cultural and religious traditions around the globe. 

This is why we started Bees for Peace. ​
