We have a lot of ways to get involved. Whether you are old or young, we need your help. One of the most rewarding ways is to be a Hive Helper. These people (mostly kids) tend hives for us through the year near their homes. Others who may not want to tend hives, donate their property and allow us to tend hives on their land. Still others donate the cost of a hive. If you might be interested in any of this let us know at molandcar@hivesforlives.com.

| Meet Luke, one of our Hive Helpers. He is a High School senior in
Malvern, PA and tends to two of the Hives for Lives hives. The hives
are located in Spring Road Preserve in Willistown, PA. They are
pollinating the Teaching and Pollination Garden that is part of this
township's Open Space program. When Luke is not tending bees, he runs
Varsity Cross Country and Track, and juggles a heavy class schedule.

Meet Jan. She is our Master Beekeeper and Mentor. She lives in Westtown and has many, many hives of her own. She used to be an oncology nurse so she is not only a bee fanatic, but also a huge enemy of cancer. We are so appreciative for her help.
