Bees and kids are becoming less common outdoors. So we did something about it.

Colorado’s native bees—1,006 species, including 24 species of bumblebees—are becoming harder to find outdoors. But they’re not the only ones. You’re also less likely to see Colorado’s kids buzzing around outside. Generation Wild’s mission is to rewild kids and get them to experience all of the benefits that mother nature provides. This makes our mission to save the bees a win-win: kids get to spend time outdoors, and Colorado
becomes a more colorful, pollinator-friendly place to bee.

This summer, we gave out almost 100,000 packets of free Wilderflower™ seeds to families across the state. Thanks to our eager bee-lievers, Colorado became a bee’s BFF.
