Hives for Humans

In 2023 we launched a new Capital Campaign to raise funds for an exciting on-site building project, Hives for Humans which addresses an urgent need for housing and office space, and furthers our vision of developing community and sacred hospitality at the Honeybee Sanctuary.

We completed the beautiful Community House building in the spring of 2024! Thank you to everyone who collaborated with us to help make this project come to life.  This facility is a 2,400 sq. ft. multipurpose building, providing space for our Stella Natura office, four bedrooms for housing the apprenticeship program, an herb drying room, and a beautiful kitchen and dining space to accommodate our workshop catering needs, give cooking space for the school classes, and a community potluck and meeting space for friends and neighbors.

As of October 2025, we are also nearly completed with the first of our Sun Cabins, as well as two yurts — all of these will expand our hosting capacity for educational programs, wellness retreats, short-term internships, seasonal volunteers, artist residences, visiting researchers and other friends of the Sanctuary.
