The Bee Cause Project Goes National
I am so proud of my DIL Tami Enright’s work to save the bees.
The Savannah Bee Company turned her loose to figure out ways to put bee hives in places where they would be safe and educate people about bees–places like schools, stores (Whole Foods is a sponsor and has a hive), parks/preserves/conservation land, and so on.
Here’s an email from Tami about the next big push: taking The Bee Cause to a national level.
So, pass on the word to folks you know who would be interested in this project in YOUR location.
Dearest “Tami” supporters:
I hope this email finds you all well and enjoying your summer! I wanted to share some exciting news…
BeeCause is spreading its wings across the United States! The last two years of Charleston-based observation hive installations has given us the necessary foundation and insight we needed to expand our program across the country. This last Spring we were able to test our “remote install” model and donated observation hives to schools in 6 states! And, we have 1,000 requests from folks all over the world. SO….
Today, we launched a fundraising campaign that will allow us to donate a BeeCause observation learning hive to every US state! This can be accomplished if each state is able to raise $2,000!
The donation site with a video showing our progress thus far is below:

If you would like to support our efforts, please share this link with your friends and family locally and across the country. It is a lofty goal – $100,000, and will require all Tami and honeybee supporters to come together. You all know first-hand the impact our program has had in my life and on our community. Let’s get out the buzz about this initiative.
Hope you enjoy the video…and thank you in advance for any donations you make on the GOFUNDME site!
