Welcome to Houston Native Bees, where we love beeing, and we:

post information, curriculum, and resources to educate and empower pollinator allies

partner with public and private organizations to develop pollinator-friendly habitats

promote pollinator pathways connecting throughout our region and across states

Take action. Bee a naturalist. Together we can protect pollinators and ourselves.
