EnglishHow to Get Involved With or Support Help Save the Bees Foundation
Updated
Help Save the Bees Foundation (HSBF) is a nonprofit charitable organization working to protect bees in Nevada and worldwide. If you want to support that work, the site gives you four direct paths: Donate, Contact Us, Subscribe to our News, and the Calendar of Events. The right one depends on whether you want to give money, ask a question, stay informed, or show up in person.
Ways to Support HSBF
| What you want to do | Where to go on the site | What it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Give financial support | Donate | Funding the foundation's bee protection work |
| Ask a question or reach a person | Contact Us | Direct contact with the organization |
| Get updates | Subscribe to our News | Ongoing news from HSBF |
| Join or attend activities | Calendar of Events | Scheduled events you can take part in |
| Learn before deciding | About Us, Our Bylaws, Our Board of Directors, Impact Report | Understanding who runs HSBF and what it has done |
The site also lists Our Partners, Our Work (split into Habitat Protection and Hands-On Education), and a Honey Locator — useful if you want to see what HSBF actually does before committing support.
If You Want to Donate
Donate is the most direct support option and appears as a standalone item in the site's navigation, as well as a call-to-action on the homepage ("Our planet's bees need your help! Join us in protecting this critical link in our environment and food chain. Donate").
Before giving, you can check the Impact Report and Our Bylaws to see how the organization is structured and what its work has produced. The site does not publish pricing or payment details in the material available here, so treat the Donate page itself as the source for accepted methods and amounts.
If You Want to Volunteer or Attend
The Calendar of Events is the entry point for activities rather than a general volunteer sign-up form. Check it for scheduled events, then use Contact Us if you want to ask about helping with Habitat Protection or Hands-On Education — the two areas the site names under Our Work.
If You Just Want to Stay Informed
Subscribe to our News is the lowest-commitment option. It keeps you on the list for HSBF updates without any donation or event attendance.
Why HSBF Says the Work Matters
The foundation's own framing, from its homepage:
- More than 4,000 bee species live in the United States, from honey bees to native species, and these pollinators help make the food supply possible.
- America's beekeepers have lost 30–40% of honey bee colonies in recent years, and the 2024–25 season saw a record 60% colony loss.
- Native bee populations worldwide are dwindling, along with butterflies, moths, bats, and other pollinators.
- The stated causes are improper pesticide use, loss of habitat, parasites and diseases, and climate change.
- HSBF also notes that beekeeping helps lift people out of poverty in developing countries and has been used to aid veterans with PTSD for over 100 years.
That context explains the scope: HSBF describes its work as extending from developing countries to veterans, not just local habitat projects.
A Practical Order of Operations
- Read About Us, Our Bylaws, Our Board of Directors, and the Impact Report to understand the organization.
- Check Our Work and Our Partners to see the specific programs.
- Pick your path: Donate, Calendar of Events, or Subscribe to our News.
- Use Contact Us for anything the site doesn't answer.
If your goal is simply to help bees generally rather than through HSBF specifically, the site's emphasis on habitat protection and hands-on education points to the two areas where outside support is most relevant.
