TAAA is a non-profit organization, serving the tricounty since 1991. During the nonprofit’s last grant cycle, 108 schools were awarded funding, and 200 schools had to be put on hold. The Bee Cause Project is not a “here’s your-money; good luck, goodbye” nonprofit. Beyond the hive funding, Bee Cause helps schools teach collaboration, inspire curiosity and foster science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEAM) skills. Participating schools receive digital resources, including curriculums, virtual field trips with lessons, suggested Citizen Science projects, labs to foster the excitement and love of learning about the honeybee and other pollinators, book clubs and relevant webinars and recordings to help teachers deliver quality instruction. “What we are doing is really powerful. As we see the educational gaps and the toll on mental health that COVID created, connecting with the environment, bees and hives is a solution,” said Montessori-trained educator and Bee Cause employee Emilee Elingburg. Elingburg teams up with Enright and Dennard to create the 360 degree experience-based curriculum that anchors Bee Cause school programs. The curriculum can unfold in person or remotely. “We just added mindfulness components to the curriculum at the request of educators who are looking for ways to help anxious students,” Enright said. “Some schools put in a quiet room so if children are having an emotionally hard day, they can go talk to the bees.” “‘Go talk to the bees’ is a phrase lost on this generation, but my grandfather often said that or “let’s take it to the bees,” Dennard mused. “We just did a visit to one school, and a student assured us that they were preparing for VIPs – very important pollinators,” Enright said. “It’s quite impressive how one small project brings people together.” “When I see kids in the classroom teaching me things about bees that I didn’t know after 43 years dedicated to bees, it brings tears to my eyes,” Dennard added. “It means The Bee Cause Project is working.” To learn more or to donate, visit thebeecause.org.
