Adopt a Bee Fundraiser 

In support of the AMA Community Foundation, you can adopt some of our million bees for just $1 each. You’ll get to name your bee, receive an adoption certificate, and feel good knowing all proceeds support the community.

When you adopt one (or more) of our million bees, you’re supporting the School Garden Studio Bursary. Every year, schools from across Alberta apply for the AMA Community Foundation bursary to support food literacy in their classrooms. It removes barriers for students to access hands-on learning experiences in gardening, sustainability, and food systems, helping them build skills that promote food security.

AMA’s beehives are just one piece of our pollinator program which includes investment in natural biodiverse forests, native plant landscaping and protection of native bees. 

By the end of 2025, members and donors had adopted an incredible 32,804 of our bees. And for many people, this contribution was more than a simple donation.  

“My grandkids had fun naming the bees. I gave the donation certificate to my daughter along with a bee themed puzzle from stump craft. It made for a nice gift.” – Denise C.   

“I made my gift in honour of my mother, Susan, who passed last year. She also loved bees. And monarchs, she let her garden in NH be overtaken by milkweed to help monarchs. It was always so glorious to see.” – Sid C.
