One of our immediate goals is to engage veterans through beekeeping. It is a proven fact that keeping honey bees helps with PTSD and other anxiety diagnoses. Our plan is to teach veterans how to keep honey bees and getting them certified by the Washington State Beekeepers Association. Through this endeavor we hope to create career opportunities by allowing them to set up apiaries at our site while creating space for them to grow at their own pace. We will also refer the veteran to outside services to help in the process.
Whether you choose beekeeping as a career or not, the reward of caring for one of God’s most interesting creation is unexplainable. For more information contact us at bees@veterans-etc.org
