Regenerative Beekeepers of America
Built by working beekeepers and informed by field data, we connect farmers, ranchers, and pollinator stewards to restore agricultural ecosystems. Become a Member. Beekeeper, land steward, or supporter—everyone has a role to play in regenerating soil through beekeeping.

Regenerative Beekeepers of America champions a systems-based approach to beekeeping—one that recognizes honeybees as part of a larger living landscape. This work restores soil health, increases floral diversity, and enhances overall plant vitality, while educating beekeepers in sustainable apiary management systems and supporting local food economies.
We are a membership-based community of beekeepers, herbalists, birders, plant enthusiasts, curious food lovers, teachers, and all who are drawn to ethnobotany, bee culture, sustainability, and the interconnected nature of health. Enjoy our membership workshops and resources for yourself, your club, or your school. We are so glad you're here!

Healthy Bees.
Healthy Land. Stronger Ecosystems.
Regenerative Beekeepers of America brings together beekeepers, farmers, and supporters who believe healthy bees and healthy land go hand in hand.
5 Strategies of Regenerative Beekeeping
Are you ready to B.L.O.O.M with us?
Build Soil Partnerships
Healthy soil grows nutrient-dense plants that strengthen bee immunity from the ground up.
Localize Genetics
Regionally adapted bees are naturally more resilient and require fewer chemical inputs.
Optimize Forage Diversity
All species thrive on biodiversity. Continuous, species-rich blooms provide the nutrition bees need to survive and reproduce.
Outreach & Education
Preparing the next generation of beekeepers through stewardship, collaboration, and research-based citizen science.
Merge Agriculture and Apiculture
Integrating beekeeping and land management to create healthy food ways.
FOUR PILLARS OF
REGENERATIVE BEEKEEPING
REGENERATIVE BEEKEEPING
Regenerative beekeeping is a systems-based approach to beekeeping that restores soil health, increases floral diversity, strengthens pollinator resilience, and supports local food economies.
A healthy microbial foundation is where regeneration begins. This pillar is key to supporting honeybee ecosystems and long-term vision for American Foodways.
Optimal forage diversity is necessary for healthy honeybee ecosystems.
Regionally adapted bees and livestock integration are key to regenerative beekeeping success.
We invest in the next generation through FFA, teach land stewardship principles like carrying capacity and ag valuation, and work with landowners to create thriving pollinator corridors across working landscapes.
- 40%Over 40% of insect pollinator species, especially bees, face extinction globally, threatening ecosystems and food systems.
- 50%Nearly one-third of wild bee species have declined by 50% or more in recent decades, highlighting deep losses among native pollinators.
- 65%U.S. commercial beekeepers reported losing more than 65% of managed honey bee colonies in2025—the highest documented loss rate on record.
