The Honeybee Project

What Is The Honeybee Project?

The Honeybee Project is a children’s educational project designed to raise awareness and engage children in the world they live in. With your help, we will expand our website as an educational portal for children and teachers, targeting kids from kindergarten through sixth grade (K-6).

Our goals are to educate, raise awareness, and demystify the honeybee for children while helping them form a connection to nature.  The sustainability of the world we live in will be determined by what we do now with the young people growing up. If children can understand the importance of the bees and how bees work together, this understanding can potentially deepen their connection and relationship with their community and the world around them.

As of the winter of 2009, Sister J SpiritVoice is now the Executive Director of The Honeybee Project, having helped with fundraising, the music video, and many educational events across the years.  As a passionate beekeeper, Sister J is committed to The Honeybee Project as a crossroads of education, science, the arts and technology, all in service to children and the honeybee.

This project grew out of the experience and research of Debra Roberts, a documentary film producer and beekeeper.  Since its inception in 2006, The Honeybee Project has:

Educated thousands of children and their families about the wonders of the honeybee;

Created a music DVD, The Honeybee Fly Around Song, to help teach and enthuse children about the honeybee;

Participated in the conception and early development of a traveling museum exhibition being developed by The North Carolina Arboretum that will engage adults and children alike. This exhibit will eventually travel around the world.
