2025 was a great year for the Vancouver Bee Project—and we couldn’t have done it without you.
Because of your support, Vancouver officially became a Bee City, strengthening our city’s commitment to protecting pollinators and expanding native habitat.

We love these two people! Brandi and Hailey have played a huge role in helping our organization grow and thrive over the past few years. Their support, dedication, and belief in the work truly matter. Thank you both—we’re grateful to have you with us.

Warm January days can be tricky for mason bees. We’ve started getting reports of male mason bees emerging early, and it’s simply too soon. Early emergence puts bees at risk. If possible, harvest cocoons and store them in the refrigerator until March, when blooms begin.

We want to send a huge thank-you to the City of Vancouver for all your support in 2025! Together, we helped make Vancouver a Bee City USA and delivered a regionally unique Pollinator Festival that brought our community together to celebrate pollinators, native plants, and habitat. S

These newly seeded winter meadow spaces may look a little “chaotic,” but this is exactly what a healthy meadow in progress should look like!

We’re really proud of the incredible work the Watershed Alliance has done over the past 15+ years. Their impact on rivers, habitat, and community stewardship in our region is real and lasting—and it’s been an honor to work alongside them.

Huge thank you to everyone who came out this past weekend—and all year long—to plant trees and pollinator co-plantings with Friends of Trees in Vancouver! 🌳🐝

This is what community-powered restoration looks like. And we’re not done yet—more plantings are coming in 2026!

The newly planted part-shade woodland meadow at the Water Resources Education Center is looking great! 🌿🌼
It’s a fantastic example of how native plants can thrive in filtered light—and there’s also a great rabbit fence on site if you’re looking for practical, wildlife-smart solutions.

We know so many of you have already stepped up to advocate for Clark College to re-plant their lost meadows—and now there’s a perfect chance to keep that momentum going. Join us Monday, December 15 at 1 PM for the Clark College Meadow Seeding Event and help restore the remaining meadows on campus.
