Hives for Humanity (Hives) is a nonprofit society that creates opportunities for connection to community, through nature, bees and the culture of the hive. We foster self-worth and community pride through skills sharing and experiential learning, working with socially and economically vulnerable populations facing barriers to stability.

We are working, gardening, beekeeping and fostering connection to land and community, on the unceded lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Səl̓ílwətaʔ (Tsleil- Waututh) and Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nations of the Coast Salish peoples. We work to be accountable to these lands, to build reciprocal and respectful relationship, and to make commitments to actions that decolonise our society, lives, hearts and minds.

Our vision is of social and ecological networks that are sustainable and inclusive. We work holding central the values of:

OPPORTUNITY:

we create low-barrier and inclusive access points for connection to community and health, built through relationships of trust and respect.

ACCOUNTABILITY:

we are responsible to our community, our environment, and our business for the long-term sustainability of our work.

JOY:

we share joy through our work, fostering pride in both individuals and community.
