Humblebee was founded on the idea that if a group of people can make their own small contribution to the cause, we can change the world. Our organization seeks to create a hive of likeminded altruists dedicated to problem solving and collective action. We seek to spread our research and volunteers to places in need around the world and pollinate their communities with the global development solutions they need to bloom to their full potential.
Humblebee is primarily focused on solving issues of scarcity and waste that are hindering global development in the 21st century. The projects we are involved with tend to fall within the spheres of food security, sustainability, and conservation of our natural resources.
