We are thrilled to announce an exciting partnership and share stories of some remarkable Hive Heroes who are already making a difference.Together we're creating lasting change for a brighter future!
Announcing Our Partnership with AMA: A New Chapter for Hive Heroes
We are overjoyed to announce our partnership with AMA (Alberta Motor Association), a collaboration that marks a significant milestone in our mission to protect bees. AMA has not only adopted a hive but will also be hosting Bee Curious sessions in Grande Prairie, where families can learn about bees and their crucial role in our ecosystem. These sessions are perfect opportunities for those who want to inspire the next generation in the protection of bees. By participating in these sessions, youâll discover how supporting bees means supporting a healthier, more sustainable future for our children. Stay tuned for fall dates.
Additionally, AMA is making some of our educational resources more accessible to the public by having them on site at their Grande Prairie location for lending purposes. This initiative will allow more people to understand the importance of bees and how they can contribute to their preservation.
Moreover, weâre excited to highlight AMA's School Garden Studio, a free online hub of resources for teachers from topic experts such as ourselves. Â With AMAâs commitment and the support of their 1 million members, we are poised to make a significant impact.

Why Bees Matter: The Importance of Pollinators
Bees play a critical role in pollinating the plants that produce the fruits, vegetables, and nuts we rely on for our food supply. Without bees, our agricultural systems would suffer immensely, leading to a decline in food availability and biodiversity. By becoming a Hive Hero, you're directly contributing to the preservation and care of these essential pollinators and ensuring a sustainable future for our food systems.
