Honeybees have beekeepers regularly tending to them, while native bees are often overlooked — native bees are suffering problems like habitat loss, lack of food, and pesticide poisoning; that’s why they’ve founded Bee Kind MN, Inc.. Their mission is to provide homes for declining native bee populations in a sustainable way, and to share their knowledge with the world. Their organization, founded by 14-year-old national award recipient Nikolas Liepins, educates about native bees and revives pollinator habitat by attending numerous events, showing the public how to build wild bee houses, plant pollinator gardens, and stop pesticide use.
