THE HONEY PROJECT
EVENTS IN PERU
PHILANTHROPIC WORK IN PERU
Preserving Ecosystems. Empowering Communities.
Peru is home to one of the largest desert forests in the world, with a special biosphere that has been displaced lately as a byproduct of expanding commercial agriculture in the area. Our boxes are placed on wildlife restoration reserves, where our bees join these fragile and burgeoning ecosystems to pollinate human-planted native wildflowers and saplings.
Summer Empowerment Festival
Our 2025 Summer Event was hosted across multiple schools in Peru, including Alfredo BBryce Echenique, Cruz de Pañala, El Muerto Las Norias, and Jorge Chávez Dartnell Monte Hermoso. Aiming to inspire Peruvian students to dream big, we set up different booths with empowering activities and workshops that would help them take positive steps toward building their futures.
Summer Library Donation
In Summer of 2024 The Honey Project built a library for the local Cruz de Pañalá school and spent time with the children of the local community to supply food and fill the library with books collected at our book drive in L.A.
English Learning & Apiculturist Initiative
In 2023 we visited the Cruz de Pañalá school to distribute English learning supplies, and spent the day practicing English with local students. Our founders also met with a team of local experts, including ecologists, apiculturalists, and horticulturists, to discuss the best way to care for and grow our bee population.
Supplies, Celebration and Bee Box Expansion
Our 2022 Spring event at San Marcos school was our first in-person gathering following Covid restrictions, during which time our founders met with apiculturalists, oversaw the extraction process, collected our first batch of honey, and obtained bee boxes for local communities.
