The Washington Native
Bee Society
We are an inclusive group that encourages bee enthusiasts of all interest levels and backgrounds to get involved, from the average lay person or student to the full-time bee researcher.
We endeavor to create a platform for groups and individuals throughout the State of Washington to show off their research, artwork, and community projects while also acting as an umbrella under which we can embrace and build up those in the bee community that need support.
At the Washington Native Bee Society, we are passionate about this diversity and seek to preserve it for generations to come.
50% of the 600 bees have not been collected or reported since the 1970s
