Started in the summer of 2020, The Washington Native Bee Society is a new organization with an ambitious vision. In the short time we have formed, we have:

​

• Established an engaged Board of Directors

• Catalyzed the launch of Washington's Bee Atlas statewide survey

• Developed and maintained a growing website hub for native bee enthusiasts

• Gained recognition by the IRS as a 501(c)3 nonprofit

• Maintained a strong presence across Instagram, Facebook, and iNaturalist

• Created a poster showcasing the Native Bee Diversity of our beautiful state

• Promoted and distributed our posters to science teachers statewide

• Provided public education and outreach on native bees at a multitude of statewide events

• Hosted monthly Zoom meetings with prominent guest speakers from around the Northwest

• Attracted a strong and highly-engaged membership from across the state

​

We still have much to do. Join us!
