Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

We are dedicated to creating a green minded generation by inspiring environmental stewardship and individual action through the teaching lens of the struggling honey bee. We work with schools, nonprofits, summer camps, environmental centers, community gardens and businesses to build long lasting care of the struggling honey bee and the environment by presenting hands-on, educational workshops on location.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Planet Bee is working towards a future in which children and adults are exposed to global environmental issues, and given the tools to combat them. Today the American child spends an average of 7 hours a day in front of a screen inside, away from nature. Planet Bee's educational programs take students outside, playing a crucial role in connecting children with the earth at the time when they are developing the values which will steer the course of their lives. Outdoor education not only brightens our planet's future, but also improves students' performance in school. We envision a world in which all students feel empowered to take action for their planet, regardless of race, gender, class or location. Through our work, students will learn to love our planet and the importance of individual action in global movements, and will become more equipped to tackle environmental problems in the future.

  • Would you like to bring virtual, innovative E-STEM lessons into your classroom, even during the time of COVID? Check out our new distance learning program here! Our program includes individual lesson videos, scripted lesson plans, supplemental material such as worksheets, games, citizen science projects, and interactive activities for the classroom and home. All lessons align with the Next Generation Science Standards. We also offer real-time virtual lessons by our experienced environmental educator. We are proud to deepen our commitment to social justice by offering virtual education programs to schools, community centers, and educational institutions in all 50 states. Thanks to our generous donors and grant makers, we are able to provide our program on a sliding scale, so that schools can receive lessons at NO OR VERY LOW COST, preventing any barrier for inclusion.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
