SustainaBee, a division of Dixon Bee Company LLC, was created out of our passion and dedication to the education, health and vitality of honey bees. Honey bees depend on clean, diverse landscapes to thrive. By adopting a holistic, sustainable and community based approach to raising honey bees, SustainaBee considers both the bees and the environment. We focus on biodynamics by promoting regenerative, pesticide-free landscapes to support our honey bees, native pollinators, wildlife, and healthy ecosystems.

Mission Statement

SustainaBee supports bee health by focusing on holistic and sustainable practices and promotes honey bee education using a community based approach to increasing local bee populations and vitality.

Why Are We Different?

SustainaBee creates community partnerships by reaching out to local community members about providing our hives with homes, and in return, offers personal, direct experiences with our honey bees. We partner with businesses, schools and farms to provide information on honey bees, their importance in agriculture, and the precariousness of bee populations. We also offer the opportunity to personally connect and learn directly about honey bees with hands-on work in our hives.

We are committed to bee health and the environment. In addition to placing hives in various locations for cross pollination and optimal bee nutrition, we plant wildflowers near hives, assist local communities with creating pollinator supportive habitats, and utilize eco-friendly packaging.

Philanthropy

SustainaBee believes in supporting organizations that have a positive impact on bees. A portion of SustainaBee profits will be used to support these organizations.

There are many issues contributing to the decline of bees in the US. Pesticides, poor nutrition, parasites, viruses, and diseases are all bee stressors. Research and education is needed to help save the bee population which is critical to our agricultural industry.

We donate 1% of our net profits to Project Apis m (projectapism.org), an organization dedicated to honey bee research.
