Bee the Buzz and Build Better

United Carolinas Cavalry is leading the charge to restore and revitalize beekeeping across the region with "Bee the BUZZ"—a bold initiative to protect pollinators, support local beekeepers, and educate communities on the vital role of honeybees in our ecosystem.

Key Message:

Bees are essential to our environment and economy, and it’s time to bring them back in FULL force. Through restoration efforts, sustainable beekeeping, and education, we're on a mission to create thriving hives and sweeter futures.

Campaign Elements:

🐝 "Hive Five" Challenge – Encourage community members to plant five bee-friendly flowers or set up bee baths and share their efforts on social media with #HiveFiveChallenge.

🐝 Memorial Hive Program – Businesses and individuals can purchase a hive to honor and remember loved ones. Each hive will feature a personalized remembrance plaque.

🐝 The Homegrown Hive: Engagement Series - A community-powered engagement series celebrating the connection between healthy hives and thriving homes. Through local workshops, honey tastings, hands-on demos, and community engaging conversation, this series explores how supporting pollinators right in our own backyards helps restore balance, biodiversity, and a sense of home—for bees and for us.

🐝 "Bee the Change" Pledge – A commitment for businesses and individuals to support local honey and advocate for bee-friendly practices. This pledge includes a beautifully designed educational book about the power of honey, a custom sticker to share your commitment to the cause, and a garden flag to proudly display your support in your community!
