Bees4Vets is a non-profit organization based in Sparks, NV, dedicated to assisting military veterans and first responders living with PTSD or TBI through beekeeping experiences. Their mission is to create a supportive environment where participants can develop the skills and interest necessary to engage in beekeeping as a vocation or hobby, combining outdoor activity, education, and community outreach.
Beekeeping is known to be beneficial for individuals with PTSD or TBI as it promotes mindfulness and staying in the present moment. The advantages of beekeeping include the ability to choose equipment that suits one's physical abilities, the opportunity for solo or small group work, and the calming nature of working with bees. Participants can also generate income through honey harvesting and selling bees to the beekeeping community.
