Bee Excellent and Save Bees!

Our Mission:
To further the education of the general public with regard to the importance of bees to the ecological cycle as it pertains to the quality and quantity of food for the entire human race as well as to assist in a wide spread attempt to further the propagation of the species. The furtherance of this goal will be achieved by the maintenance of several hives and honey refining processes which will be accessible to the public through educational tours. Bee Excellent will also conduct educational classes in school environments as well as public facilities.
In order to do this I need to make a space indoors for processing and storing honey. I also need to make an animal proof yard for putting the bee hives so they will be left alone by bears. It would also benefit everyone to have more than one hive so we will also be using the money to pick up more materials for making hives. I have already put considerable personal funds into this and have been stretched well beyond my means.
If we are able to make our entire goal I would also get an observation hive for the classes.
A honey house will be upwards of $10k.
We need to go on a trip to get bees $600

Honey Nutrition
Honey is much more than just a simple sugar. Rich in minerals and nutrients, honey also has some antibiotic properties that may aid in the healing process. For thousands of years honey has been used by mankind in many capacities to help give the human body energy and health. Eating local honey can help with allergies.
