Our Mission
Frankie & The Bees, Inc. is a 501c3 organization that was created in memory of the loved ones, who helped turn a career into a passion. The bees brought us together, building, creating and inspiring us to become advocates for them.
Now, together with our bees and enlisting local communities, we hope to inspire and educate the next generation of advocates. We want to not only redefine how people think of honeybees but we want to highlight their importance and how it effects our future.
We, at Frankie and The Bees, are driven by a deep sense of responsibility to protect the honeybees. We want to create a world where honeybees thrive, and we will achieve this through our various educational programs, community initiatives, and sustainable beekeeping practices.
Join us or support us in our journey to make a lasting impact on the planet.
