“Foster Beelief has been a long time coming. Growing up in Foster Care, I realized at an early age how much impact one caring person can have on someone’s life. As I took advantage of the opportunities afforded to me by many people along the way, it dawned on me that I, too, could be a part of the chain of caring people. It has become clear to me that one person can connect with another; and then those two can reach out to two more; until, suddenly, a network of caring people is changing our world for the better. I hope that Foster Beelief will become a mechanism to bring together people from across the nation to improve not only the health and viability of the honeybees but also the lives of those who might need a helping hand as they travel along their paths”.
