About Honey and Petals Co
It All Starts with the Bees
Bees play a vital role in helping our world grow. They pollinate fruits, vegetables, and flowers — meaning they help plants grow by spreading pollen from one to another. Without bees, many of the foods we eat and the plants we love wouldn’t survive. But bees also teach us something important about life. Watching them work calmly and with purpose can be relaxing and even help ease stress or anxiety. They remind us that even small actions — like one bee visiting a flower — can lead to big results when we stay focused and work together.
Mission Beelieve
A Maryland-based nonprofit dedicated to supporting veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and their families through therapeutic, nature-based healing. Their programs create safe, welcoming spaces for participants to reconnect with themselves and others through farming, beekeeping, and community support. They offer a beginner beekeeping course free to qualifying members, provided online in partnership with a local university. On the farm, guests can enjoy seasonal dahlia fields, a therapeutic bee house, RV-friendly sites, and wellness-focused retreats. Mission Beelieve is also actively involved in regional apiculture events and conferences, promoting healing through beekeeping and expanding awareness of their mission. As part of their ongoing growth, they are fundraising to create fully handicap-accessible areas throughout the farm — ensuring that every visitor, regardless of ability, can experience peace, purpose, and belonging.
